Remember?

RPS- David Soul thinking back.

---

How many years ago was it?

Chucklin’, New York City.

Remember, Paul?

God we were so young then.

Full of ourselves.

Doing what we needed to do to survive

Sharing and swapping shifts.

Holding each other up.

Pinning each other down.

Sharing…

Everything.

So sure it would work out.

Then, me moving to California.

Beginning to make it.

Thinkin’ about you,

Missing you.

Dreaming of you at times.

Makin’ stupid decisions.

Because you weren’t there to bounce things off of.

Then, getting called to do a new show.

Buddy cop show.

I thought of you

Right away.

But, I didn’t know what you were doing.

Imagine my surprise

And pleasure

And absolute total happiness

To see you walk in to audition

And it was perfect

We were perfect.

In sync

Just like old times

They said “They have chemistry.”

Little did they know

Or think

We had more.

So much more.

We had “history”

We had

Touch

And

Love.

And it lasted four years

Until we both wanted something else

Oh, not someone else,

Never that

We each had that

Sort of.

But out of the rut

The restrictions

The sameness.

So

Again

Without you.

Missing you.

Thinking of you

When I should have been thinking of others.

And yet,

Even now

I hear your voice

I see your face

I, Oh God,

I feel your touch

And I shiver

I breathe for the first time

Really breathe

Because you are here

And LOVE is close.

Again.

It will never stop

Never end.

They thought it was just for show

Just for the show,

But “they” were wrong

Are wrong.

Will always be wrong

It has always been

Will always be

No matter what…

Me and Thee
