Never 'We'

Thank you.
I had been dormant, till then
Sleeping awake
But that one, brief moment,
Spark,
Shudder
Woke me up and I like you.
You are what I like.
And I cannot change that –
You are, I liked, before there was a ‘we’.
There is no ‘we’, though.
Never a ‘we’,
A ‘we’ would be... unexpected… unreal.

But that moment…
I would have been happier asleep.
I would not be thinking of ‘we’
And would just be continuing as you and I were.

But, awake I am
And now I stop
Another moment to wonder –
I like you.
You are what I like.
You are, I liked, before there was a ‘we’.
There is no ‘we’, though.
Never a ‘we’.
