Adoptive

You join your community in which
I have no part, try though I may to be
At one with you. Of course I shouldn't bitch;
I knew this was your own community,
One I was both by choice and inclination
Apart from and unlikely to join in;
Nor do I feel significant temptation
To come to it. Still I admit it's been
Hard, and will be harder, to observe
You make your way away from me into
A place I have no place; not that I swerve
From seeing this, for we both know I knew
This would be so before it was begun.
But every time feels like the hardest one.
