I walked with you
I walked alone
mountain laurel plucked
tucked behind my ear
I danced with you
I danced alone
sequoia chaperones watched
silent, stoic
I swam with you
I swam alone
spectacle lake cold
clear invited us in
I sank with you
I sank alone
sun streaking a trail
above us
I pushed through the glittering blue with you
I pushed through the soft blanket alone
I laid out on the rocks
exhausted, thirsty
I was with you
I was alone
