I don't really like my last name, can I have yours
That was the first thing she said to me
Sure, why not
That was the first thing we shared
We shared long nights under the moonlight
Our emptiness coming together to make an endless pool of loneliness but it was okay
Because zero to the zeroth power is one
We made something out of nothing while the waves licked our toes
We shared our hurt and marveled at how much our wounds resembled each other
We were like broken pieces of the same soul
Separated for so long we almost forgot how we fit together
Almost
But things like this don't remain in your memory
They're etched into the very fabric of your being
We shared a pool of our tears before sharing a bed
I can't swim so I drowned in your eyes
You offered a life jacket but there was only one
And we shared everything
So we shared the life jacket with the waves
And shared our last breaths, lips locked
The tombstone
We share that too
