We traveled the world on separate paths stealing glances between the trees and sharing moments from afar Though our voices could call out in comfort our hands could never touch and no matter how dear or true our hearts might have been they could never beat as one
As we moved along two lives in parallel we swapped stories on quiet nights and bared ourselves like never before we marched forward pushing through tragedy and triumph with a constant eye to the path beyond aching for what awaited through the howling trees
Though we picked up fellow travelers and bonded with other souls the face beyond the trees haunted us both But as two lives in parallel doomed never to meet we made our own happiness and found our own dreams while waiting for the two paths to meet
Yet, even as we wished on every star for our roads to intersect we knew we could be in the arms of another unable to share the desired embrace Still, no cruel twist of fate could keep our two souls apart and whether we meet as friends or lovers neither shall endure a broken heart
So as we stand here silently two faces between the trees let's raise our glass to toast the stars and give thanks to friends and lovers For no matter which role you play the result will be the same two hearts will be light at least for one day
