To the End

On separate banks we stand apart,
And in between us flows a memory.
It laps the earth beneath our feet,
As the distance grows-Eternity.
Down the rapids we flow together,
Intermingled to the sea,
Past the hills, and through the woods
Of the fallen-sing a reverie.

As we pass them by, they look on,
Stoic in their jealousy.
For love like ours, they never knew
Before they met eternity.
Yet there you stand across the way,
Your gentle face so far from me,
One last glimpse-I'll jump too
And we'll flow together to the sea
