Years Ago

I remember late one night,
as my finger traced
the sheen of sweat
in the dip of your sternum,
I asked if you thought
there would ever come a time
when we would no longer
know one another

Your answer was simple:
"I don't know."
Said without trace of worry
or thought,
it was then that I knew
the day would surely come
and now,

All I feel is free.
