One unbroken conversation

Every word that we ever spoke

From a private joke to an angry lie.

Rich with themes and implications

Things we said or we might’ve heard

Or had been inferred as the days flew by.

Maybe back then on the day we met

There we things we said

That we might regret

Didn’t we get right into it

As back and forth

That ball was hit.

Precedent set by the early words

And with no idea what had just occurred

You and I had in fact begun

This dialog still going on.

And word upon word eventually

Would carry us far beyond our morning star

And here we are.

And this is...

One unbroken conversation

Every word that we ever spoke

From an angry joke to a sorry lie.

Rich with hopes and expectations

Things we said or we might’ve heard

Or had not inferred as the days flew by.

You say today’s topic starts a new conversation

Good luck with that—

They’re all continuations.

And word upon word eventually

Would carry us far beyond our morning star

And here we are.

Tell me again what you really mean

And I’ll do my best not to make a scene

Say it now with some smaller words

I’ll tell you what I thought I heard.

It's one unbroken conversation

Every word that we ever spoke

From a silly joke to a tender lie.

Rich with ghosts and imprecations

Things we said or we might’ve heard

Or had been inferred as the years flew by and by.
