The Gold Knows

The time when we walked along the banks
Of the river at midnight
                                  Both of us far away from home.

The time when you went with me to visit a space museum
You didn't give a crap about the space or the ships that have been
                                  there.
You just went to be near me to be with me to be you and me.

The time when we stood alone among the cactus and wildflowers
Exchanging promises and jewelry in front of strangers and God.

The time when two became one and the one became greater than the two.
In the end I always blamed myself...never you.

When we have forgotten what it was like to be together
                                                        To be sane
                                             To be safe
                                  To be you and me forever

The rings we do not wear anymore...
These rings remember all of those things and more.
