"always" (somehow)

for some time now
I had been thinking of that word...
once it appeared
it would not let me forget itself

and that was alright by me.

I'm happy with this.

for some time now
I had been unsettled by that word...
once it was out
I could not let it be

until now
when you said it, too...
another private uncertainty ousted
-- yet another.

step for step, word for word:
we're further down the road,
leading nowhere and everywhere

I'm happy with this.
