I scratched both our names

Into the bark of the tree

Over where we both fucked

In the long dewy grass

All those years ago.


You were slightly older and I was

Naïve in belief that we would remain

Kindred spirits tied to each other

'Til the ends of time.


I'm standing here now

Looking slightly worse for wear

Staring longingly at my empty hands

And wondering why nature didn't erase us

From its surface

Like we did to each other

Many moons ago.
