Water and Oil

I’m surprised we lasted for long,
surprised at how patient we were.
When I wandered off
and you couldn’t figure out why
we were patient.
But I knew long ago
and maybe it should’ve ended then
rather than taking chances
to see if we’d improve.
I knew long ago
that our bodies were like
cocoa and berries
or butter on pancakes
but our souls....
water and oil.
