day twenty-one: the "we".

every day

we go farther away

from where i thought

we'd be today

when i'd dream

of these days

these days we are in now

i didn't see these walls, chasms, gulfs and mountains

i saw us, happy: free.

well, i was mistaken

or the different roads we've taken

have just led us in the same direction

without much of a common situation

of which we can converse...

so here, we stand

in someplace i never thought i'd be

wondering who you are

and how you became more like you

while i became more like me

and those people we grew into

became less like the "we" we used to be...?
