Nothing Real Could Change

Times pass 

nothing changes

 nothing stays the same

Only what is, never changes

the river runs over it's  banks and makes a new bed

 the water  remains 

Years pass by

 don't see your eyes 

 hear your voice

smell your scent

Calendars my memory flips through

  days and weeks months, years

no word, yet, I think of you 

doesn't change

Countless times  wanting to hear your 

voice

near my ear

saying  best friends again

always

silence is all

 nothing else

 never changes

silence speaks

 given up I guess

we've parted ways I see

it must be

so

decades pass by

 life seems to be nearing the end 

 at times

letting go

 I'll just let go

Then you're looking for me

 calling my name

wanting me

again

still

nothing has changed

heart whispers it's secrets 

(I already know) 

into my ear

wordlessly

a message so simple

be my friend

the universe spins off it's axis

words mean nothing

never have

One soul is  all there is

Mine and yours 

One.

Your neurons mingled with mine 

we were twins 

on the Scottish highlands perchance?

or enemies fighting over shirts?

before time 

the beginning 

we were One, 

for sure, and never parted

took strange forms

pretended to be separate

leaves from a tree

to see how it would feel

 strangers

What could be stranger?

(part of the plan?)

 nothing changed

it's all the same old familiar story

everything changed, but nothing could

love, love love
