Walking in Words

I can only tell my own story
With its joys and frustrations
Its surprises and cliffhangers
Its dreams and heartbreaks

I can only see through my lens
Know the words I heard
Or wanted to hear
Or didn’t

I want to know your story
I want us to walk in each others' words
But your story is no longer mine
As much as I want it to be

My story is my own
And yours is yours
