Separate lives « Thin spiral notebook

We speak the same language
Yet you don't understand
A single word I say

We read the same books
Quote our favorite movies
But have nothing in common

We share a God
A compatible sense of right and wrong
Though we can never agree

Your body fits perfectly
Around mine
You say you've outgrown me

We move in the same direction
Along a mutual path
Only you can't find your way to me

We were a perfect match
We were made for each other
Have we ever actually met

A lover's whisper in the dark
Separates us
An unconquerable chasm
