| [CQ] We Had Never Met Everything was as it should be.
No trash in the stream, at least that we could see.
No haze on the horizon.
It was stored in our lungs from the time we were young,
and as we spoke it arose from our tongues.
Not quite perfect, but as it should be.
It was genuine, not just a front of something I long for.
Children born, never to die;
lay in their beds for their eternal lives.
You were you,
as you always had been.
But in my dream...
We had never met.
