i don’t think that we are alone

if we were

i would not see these faces in the bushes

these hands grabbing at mine from beneath the pebbles in the water

i don’t think that we are alone

if we were

there would be no warmth to feel when i embrace you

and no loss of warmth to mourn

when i lose you every morning

i don’t think that we are alone

if we were

we would not be here

giving birth to each other

over again
