Together

I've been thinking lately-
I had to ask myself...
Is there any hope for us?
Or, what do we have left?
I guess that we've used all the words
Explaining how we feel...
I've asked myself, I'm asking you-
Is any of it real?
Can we really call it love-
And yet remain apart?
I know we both have shed our tears-
And had our broken hearts.
Some tell me I am jaded-
A cynic without peer...
In spite of that, I really wish,
That I could have you here.
Why?... I'd like to be with you-
And maybe hold your hand.
And share my wild and mis-spent life,
And have you understand...
The things which serve to make me, me-
The lonely miles and years-
The deserts, and the mountains, blurred...
Seen through a veil of tears.
I'd take you back where I was raised-
We'd walk the country lanes-
We'd drive to Arizona, and-
Then we would ride the plains...
I'd like to just be with you-
To have you at my side...
They'd say above our bleaching bones
"Together, here, they died".

well done sir...

going back to show someone we care about where our roots are, and finding some sort of peace in the process is something many of us can relate to.
