Resignation

I resigned myself, to the fact
that this is how it is going to be
I may have wanted something a little different
maybe you did too

But, we push forth
and deal with what we have
I want to paint with you
and play music together
create music, actually
be silly and fall for each other

over broken chords on the piano
of the guitar, or bass

maybe make something that only we would remember

a song for two

Like that Fugees record that sold for so much
that only one person could enjoy

both of us could enjoy it

a duet, a shared voice of notes


but no

this is something different

and it's not bad

is it?
