Description
It happened
I was there

We came to see something
we had never seen before

but the mist claimed everything that day
and all we had was each other
to keep as souvenirs

It was a Tuesday I remember
and you wore your blue hat
and quoted scripture
Something I said made us laugh and
for a brief moment we were almost more
than what we were before

perhaps in that time
we did see things we hadn't before

That was long ago however
and now greater mists have claimed even those little tokens
of attention

We made a pact
to return in October
two years to the day

We never did
