Do You Remember? |

Do you remember the first time we lay together? There was something about the way our bodies curved together that made dream come so quickly. Never expected to be more than your friend, and a living teddy bear. We were inseperable. From dusk til dawn til dusk again, We'd climb through caves, Run through the forests, Each day plotting a way to keep the two of us together, even if the rest of the world crumbles around us. We were all we needed. Lovers would come and go. We would hold one another until the tears left. Others would turn on us, but we would stand strong. We made pacts. "In twenty years, if neither of us are still married......" "If it ever gets to where neither of us can fix the other, we go together." We'll sit in opposite ends of the room, count to ten, point and fire. That made us stronger. We knew that there was nothing that we couldn't pull the other one through. They took you They locked you away They pumped you full of so many drugs You had to dictate your life to a stranger to correspond to me. Months went by without you I'd listen to the same songs over and over that you would sing to me in the dark. I'd sing them in the dark, hoping you could hear me Through the forest, through the trees Through the medication They let you out And we were once again inseperable Heckle and Jeckle back to the old mischief We had a good long chat about where are heads and hearts had been You told me that you had plans for the future For college For marriage For life You said "I don't want to die anymore. I've decided life is good." I cried that night and finally understood why people cried at movies like Titanic My first tears of joy Was better than loosing my virginity I had to leave town for a few days The days go by The phone rings You know it's not right when everything gets quiet I hear "What do you mean Chad's dead?" I say "which Chad?!" ...It's my Chad. I died inside. I had no tears, no breath, no will to do anything but walk to the west and drown myself in the sea at sunset. You wrestle the questions for the rest of your life You find anyone and everything you can to blame, especially yourself. You can spend years replaying the incident over and over again in your mind. But nothing changes the facts All I can do is relive falling asleep holding him All I can do is listen to him sing to me in the dark And know that I shared a love deeper than anything in all creation and death cannot rob me of what he and I shared Disintegrated to materialize in reformed delight. |
