Against Us

time has always been against us.


our first meeting

only when we were seventeen

-- much too late


that same night

the minutes flew by

and morning came too soon


a week went by

before we met again

just a quick "hi" and "bye"


our second date, five days later,

brutally interrupted by a gunman

-- a moment that felt like hours


then, ten hours

you in a hospital bed, quiet

and ten hours became forever


oh, how turtorous time is,

keeping me in this prison

waiting for your return
