3 circles and a square

he was
we were
silence
with an undertone of
something bordering
a feeling
wrapped in an
emotion
struggling to break
through the layers
of life
and
breathe

she was
we were
acquainted
when no one else
could see
arms outstretched
and notes passed
down from generations

he was
we were
heart broken
when together
and more miserable
when apart
counting down days
that gained a months weight
without showing any signs
of pregnant perfection

she was
we were
in love
with the same idea
and bound by
common ground

he was
we were
fools
by our own admission
and worldly in our dreams
as we played hopscotch
with worn out ankles
and tag without moving

he was
we were

she was
we were

united
