Well, is it that the past is just a dream? A thing so rendered we could not sustain? We’ve changed so much, perhaps enough to seem that from that time, little does remain
A hole through my own chest, a hole in yours the shape and size familiar metal hoop filled now, a reconstruction of our cores the lock and key don’t match, don’t close the loop
between us, but then nothing ever will. An open game, the shot clock won’t run out. You look at me, same feelings are there still (a different you, a different me, no doubt)
My shot with you went off the backboard then But now, new you, new me—let’s try again?

We are different now; that much is true. The way we fit is not intuitive. Across the court the one I see’s still you and yes, by now we both know how to live
apart; we fill our cavities with air but know my thoughts have always been with that: a time, a place, the two of us, and where you looked at me; you made my world collapse
until it was just you and me, the light and shadow, pass to shot, to touch, to kiss. The war between us dead, the final fight results in draws, a takeaway; I miss
you, and us, the things we’ll never be again, but yes, I want to try and see.
iii. both
A compromise is not so easy, though a compromise between the way we are and who we used to be—it’s hard to know the way that we confuse an image, far
from current, for the present state, until it stumbles over cracks, and twists and falls. We’re getting better, though, we fit and fill the gaps that once existed; those are all
becoming smaller, closing like old wounds to scar and fade and overlay with real and present happiness, what once was doomed renewed, no, now destroyed; we’ve made a deal
with past and future; now we’re even set together now, the warmth outshines regret.
