together and it was enough

forever like that // ben rector

once upon a time there was a girl and a boy
and they were kids and they lived
together
in different little houses
in a little neighborhood
on the same road
and they ate popscicles on the porch in the late morning
and they ran barefoot down dusty worn paths
and they played and laughed and said goodbye at night

once upon a time there was a lady and a man
and they were young and they lived
together
in a small apartment
in a tall building
in a big city
and they sat in the warm morning sunlight
and they cooked on their tiny stove in the evening
and they held each other at night

once upon a time there was a lady and a man
and they were grown up and they lived
together
in a cheap suburban house
in a neighborhood
in a medium sized town
and they took their kids to school at dawn
and they drove and biked to and from work
and still they held each other at night

once upon a time there was a lady and a man
and they were old and they lived
together
in quaint white house
in the country
in the way out country
and they sat on their front porch in the morning light
and they sat and read books in the rainy afternoon
and they held each other even closer at night

once upon a time there was a lady and a man
and they were at peace and they lived and died
together
and it was enough
