strawberries & cream

the truth is one
completes the other
though it can be
easy to lose track

sometimes it feels like
that song skinny love
just trying to last
through the fragile eras

the moments slipping
by untouched and
unnoticed, unable
to be retrieved

taken for granted
slighted or aggrieved
no one ever as perfect
as the other needs

both just trying to
live those best lives
day by day

always reaching for
the stars, not often
left disappointed

but once in a while
a bit scraped up
metaphorically bruised

goodbyes and regrets
hellos and promises
enduring, enriching

fighting for that
individual voice
but also striving
to mesh as well

passport stamps
strawberries & cream
living united
living free
