Remember when we lived in a simpler state of being

When the windows weren’t cracked, the door fit the hinges and there were no leaks in the ceiling

Somewhere we crossed over from love to living

The reality of our euphoric feeling dissipated as if surreal somehow

This is the here and now and our sanity is frayed a bit

We pass time to survive the commonalities of stress

Why is it that our mirrors now exist on opposite sides

We seldom look and reflect upon each other to see ourselves

Too much effort has been afforded to forgetting what it was that brought our spirits to the same light

Before we ever had one fight, we made a conscious decision to share identical fates

It takes effort to be a survivor of situation and circumstance

Withstanding the tides of the coupled erosion that the years bring

As each day passes it takes us farther away from the feeling of our first emotions

Our relationship reconstructs as time continuously attacks our foundation

We haven’t lost it all; we but have to recall all that made us who we are together

We can rediscover that love that existed before we began just living day to day

Remember when we lived in a simpler state of being

When the windows weren’t cracked, the door fit the hinges and there were no leaks in the ceiling
