The Fence

Haven't seen the sky like this in a long time
We were only kids then
You from one side
Me from another
Together at the fence
Just looking and smiling

It was cold then
Your jacket
My skimpy sweater
Songs and friends
Booze and parties
Cars down the same street

In that dream I lost you
I didn't wake up for a long time
When I awoke I was far away
Or was it you
Too far to reach
I walked my own way

I saw you again the other day
The sky was like when we were kids
At the fence once again
On different sides
Laughing at what we once were
Smiling at what we are

We both ran a long way
Going in different directions
Chasing dreams
Holding memories
Some day we will be at the fence again
Maybe on the same side this time.
