we both have
strong likes and dislikes
we both crack
the same jokes
we always
agree
when we talk

but when at night
after we kiss
if we fall asleep
and dream the same dream
that someone is
whispering sayonara
we both wake up
in the middle of the night
with a start

past-present-future

what will happen to us?

but after all
we're just lovers
and though we're much alike
we're not exactly the same
that's it we're lovers
today just
like we were yesterday
but i don't want to think
about tomorrow

yesterday-today-tomorrow

i don't want to think
about tomorrow!

i found
a long hair on the sweater
you just took off
give up darling
men's lies
are easy to spot
and in the bathroom
as you look at the mirror
there you are
a stranger staring back
and though i also
lie
from time to time

then-now-later

what am i to do?

but after all
we're just lovers
and though
i'd like to think that
we're much alike
that's it we're lovers
at present
as we were in the past
but what about the future?

strange

past-present-future

what about the future?
