do you remember it? <br />the rain, it was outside us when we parted <br />the boat left a furrow on the sea <br />and the waves ran until everything was calm <br />and then i went inside a room <br />the windows all glass <br />the drapes dusty <br />and the tables and chairs so cold <br />like our feelings <br />and then outside the rain began to fall <br />when you left <br />i just watched the dissipation <br />just that <br />things happened and we let them be <br />we were not the masters of our fate <br />the stars write their lines <br />and they take the course <br />of the journey <br />we followed suit without a single question<br /><br />RIC S.
