now we are together

by antwan fields - Aries

water crashing into the rocks
i stand,waiting for my love to come back
staring away, long and hard
i still can remember when we slid off track
it wasn't a dark and stormy night 
as a matter of fact
it was a sunny day 
for you to use tact 
oh, how we lived for each other
felt each other's love, each other's pain
and we regarded the rest of the world with disdain
non-romantics, we called them
as they went rushing off to be paid 
and that you loved me, they would say 
you needed your head x-rayed
and at night, when we lay
loving each other without sex
on our relationship our friends
were trying to put a hex
come out and play, they said 
we've got a girl
who wants to meet you
and give her a whirl
so imagine my surprise 
shock and pain
when you came in
like acid rain
friends patting me on the back
when you left, cursing me out
imagine how it felt 
knowing you shout
and then you drove home 
barely seeing out of your eyes
the truck bearing down
like a tanker to a fly
they said you died instantly
no, you never saw it coming
your grandmother glared at me over the apple she was gumming
and the funeral was a sorry affair
i couldn't see through the tears
and it was there i calmed down 
a calmness that seared
so i stand here on the water
overlooking jagged rocks
thinking he'll carry on
my younger brother fox
so i look down
preparing for the bump
i close my eyes
hold my breath
and jump
now we are together
forever
