We Walked A Path Once

We walked a path once,
You and I,
And shared some gentle time while basking in the sun,
We walked a road once,
You and I,
Fighting with the storms that blew upon our way,
We walked a highway once,
You and I,
And dealt with all the loss and hurt that fell before us,
We walked the Earth once,
You and I,
And broke with everything that Heaven threw in our direction,
But now the time has come for the parting of the ways,
And you will take one path and I will hold the other,
And we will walk the Universe,
You and I,
But with other souls as company.
