Today never happened
we slipped in between the cracks
we found a secret tunnel
dirt walls lined with little things we lost

the walls fell away and we found this space
a whole new day
untarnished by time and lies
and things we wished

it stayed hidden
far away from all the others
we didn’t want it to get sick
or lose it again, forever

nothing else mattered
no one called
no one rang the doorbell
or knocked

the sun came up
even though we never saw it
and the moon surprised us
pushing its way in front of the sun

down at the water
the tide never came or went
it just rolled along
and the sand stayed warm

we saw old friends
and people we met once
people who were super nice
but we never totally bonded with

off in the distance
we saw people watching
the dead, the living, the distant
but maybe they were just memories

today never happened
(and tomorrow may not either).
