The wedge driven between us 
Was wide enough to repair 
We talked of many things 
Just like we used to, but 
Some tension was still there. 

Time will heal our wounds 
we'll be as close as we were 
We'll be strong and carry on. 
And stand together as a pair. 

To make mistakes is human 
Listening to others was our err. 
They want their pound of flesh or 
Scapegoat, they just don't give a care 

We missed the fun and laughter 
The trust we built and shared 
The stories and poetry swaps 
Though I am here, she is over there. 

But we have news for them 
That will stir a hornets nest 
When they find out that … 
We will stand united, and  
tilt our noses in the air.
