He’s my longtime companion
He’s my longtime ago.
We have sailed on the ocean
As two barques aside
In the trough of each other
Asleep on the tide.
He’s my longtime companion
He’s my longtime ago.
We have turned to each other
In midst of our dread
We have laughed with each other
Like children in bed.
He’s my longtime companion
He’s my longtime ago.
We have learned a new language
We have stifled the storm
We have glided on waters
Flecked with the sun.
We have sat in the silence
Warmed with one breath
He’s my longtime companion
My longtime ago.
