Ours

Maybe
In this lifetime
There is no 'you and me'

But I'm still glad
For every second
That I blinked
And saw your face

I'm still glad
For every time
When I felt
Like there was

That there might
That there will

But
As clear as the night sky
And as starless as it is
There won't be

Maybe
In the lifetimes before
And the lifetimes ahead
There is no 'us'

No stars shine
No rain fell

But if there were
They would testify
That indeed
There is none

None of 'you and me'
None of 'us'
None of 'we'

But the universe was kind
For I am sure
In whatever lifetime
There was 'ours'

There was you
There was me
Separate sentences
Separate feelings

But not the shy smiles
The inside jokes
The happy promises
The tightest hugs

Those were yours
As those were mine
Simply ours

The uncontrollable tears
The loudest fight
The broken vows
The farthest distance

I'm still glad
For all those years
That I spent
With you

And maybe
In a lifetime unbeknownst to us
There might still
Not be an 'us'

But I'm certain
About you
About me
About ours
