Sedimental Love

Every year
Brings another layer of dust
To our little rock
And though we are surrounded by mountains
We know they will crumble
But we will stand firm
Because our layers go so much deeper
Than we remember
Than we can know
So even though we find ourselves lost
Apart from each other
Even if one of us dies
Even when they put us in a glass case
For all the world to see
And when the fire
And flood
And winter
And death come
Even if we forsake each other
Even after hundreds of layers of dust
Even though you and I will never understand
There is something I cannot lose
One thing I cannot forget
This small
Stone
