I knew it was dangerous

We had so few sunsets

I’d always hoped they conveyed

A sense of time travel.

Brought us together in fair weather and storms.

Fair weather and storms,

Well, that did kind of define us,

Way back when masks were the way,

We took our chances with love.

Shared our moments with each other,

Wondering when to share the world,

Yet we never had a chance,

Too much freedom to panic,

To lose the edge that love does bring,

In the most silent terms,

Inside our respective heads.

To reach out again,

I knew it was dangerous
