Birthday

If you were not born; I'd be dead.
And this is something I know for a fact.
Because the both of you have saved me more times than I can count
And it's not the classic run-of-the-mill relationship.
Because we both live in a state of give and take.
Stasis relationships are the way I live my life; or so I'd like to believe.
But I never know because all I can hear between us is the distance.
