Two years we
roamed this earth together
you and I from
lands far apart
finding each other
at the end of the world
just as it stopped
turning locking people up
the whole globe a prison cell
I had to love you
through a screen
for five months we
didn’t know if we would ever
see the other again yet
you seemed to slip through
the maze wearing an invisible
cape you travelled for days
on buses and planes
waved goodbye to SA
in New Zealand you would stay
for the entire duration of
us
there was no other place
our hearts could collide
not through screens, in real life
we lived real lives
while the world was on fire
dancing at night
we held the lighters
to fuel the flames inside us
as above so below
what the world was brewing up
couldn’t be contained in the two of us
we let the river wash away
what was left of the flame
kissing each other goodbye
knowing we would never be the same
