She is a forward thinker

Dreaming up the plans and machinations for our grand future.

Whereas I – I mull over the past.

Of what’s now long gone, and all that’s occurred.

Together we become neutral, fixed firmly in the present,

Tussling between that which we’ll gain and all that we’ve lost.

And the sun has envisioned him along her soft steps, from end to end
But this day forth, together, they will connect and they will show

For many the tasks are cumbersome;

Unnecessarily complex

For us, though, the specialty lies

In subtracting what comes next

But honestly the role isn’t without its cons

And even for us the numbers have their weight

Divided away from even the appearance of normality

We function to prove wrong those who negate
