Were You Here

Something I wrote a couple years back that I "lost" in a purge.

What would we be ... were you here

Friends or something far more dear

Or maybe we would hardly speak

Infatuation having peaked

Would we now at last be "us"

Engaged in something fabulous

Or ships that seldom pass at all

Having found our passions stalled

What would we be ... were you here

I'd sure love to know, my dear
