We stood on opposite shores
Of the same dark river
Each certain the current
Ran our way
You held your truth
Like a lantern
I held mine
Like a blade
And still
Neither of us cut the night
Neither of us lit the path
So we set our weapons down
Let the river keep its secrets
And chose the quieter victory
Not winning
Not losing
Just walking away
With our dignity intact
Two stubborn hearts
Finally learning
To agree to disagree
