Between Us

Coming from two sides of one place,

We tested theory face to face.

We struck out living, love or bust.

We let our two pasts come between us.

We tried ignoring half the truth.

Still, the half I let me see in you

Would merit friendship, praise, and trust,

But we let our past come between us.

Now we've been apart for couple of years,

Acres of heartache and more than two beers.

We met by chance, mustering neither hate nor lust.

It's funny, how densely the past grew between us.
