The String of hope

a connection between us
empathy runs through
our eyes met then hide
there is something obviously true
a simple line
the line of empathy we both hold
we swing and slide
along the road
then lay attached to the string of hope
a quick glance
might return the past
a day pass then another day
life drifted us away
maybe in another life
maybe in another world
we'll rejoin again our string of hope
