Getting in Touch

 

 

The time between us

            Is spent

                        In different lengths.

 

I'm beginning, I think,

            To know

                        The person you are.

 

And, like me,

            You grow

                        And change.

 

What I know of you

            Yesterday

                        May not fit today.

 

I ask you

            To talk

                        To me

 

So I can see

            The paths of change

                        You take.

 

A friendly path

            We shared

                        Yesterday.

 

But in the silence

            Of our lives

                        Did you go another way?

 

I only know

            What Was

                        Yesterday.

 

I only know

            What Is

                        By some time

 

We may share

            Today.
