“Why don’t I see you
by the dock anymore?
Did you forget we had plans?
Did you forget I exist?
Did you find someone else,
that hasn’t already been kissed?
Is it too much to ask
To have you want me back?
All I wanted from you was
A midnight perambulation;
To talk about the sky,
The Earth, the sun.
To talk about all the things
We never would have done.
I would have told you sooner
But you always seem to forget
That when we are together
It’s as if we’re caught in this net:
We cannot escape,
We cannot break free,
I don’t want to anyway,
As long as you are with me.
We are held in together,
By these invisible bonds.
They haul us closer, closer
to the inevitable end.”
He was looking away,
When she stopped talking.
All he said to her then
Was, “Let’s never stop walking”.
