TIME

We were born
In an era of disaster
Disastrous
Friendliness
Wove us in time
That bade us all
The same,
All the same I
Loved you only
With the
Kindness of
Man longing
For change and
A better reason.
There’s a better
Reason why we
Needed to be
The same to
Claim our differences.
I am different
For you today
But still carry
The very
Sameness that
Guarded our lives back then.
I am different
To be the same
For you even
When you don’t know.
Time may have
Run with us and
Locked our memories in a
Coma,
But all the same
You better believe-I love you
With the sameness that
you know of me,
Since that time.
