just sitting by your bed...and talking to your head...and hearing what you said...as if you'd never left...

there we were.
no apologies.
no questions about the people in our past.
no excuses for our lack of progress.
we knew why the trucks didn't start
and which stars were our favorites.
nothing had changed.

i was surprised how easily it all came back,
how little we cared about reasons.
like when we complained of the cold,
but kept the windows open.

i think we were both too tired,
too worn down by the places we loved
to be anything but broken apart.

it's like our solitude was binary all along.
i just needed to know you were real
you just needed a friend.
and there we were.
