Twenty plus years since we
went our ways
When we were young - those carefree days
Our lives have changed and yet the same
Remembrance altered in a single frame
The paths have turned and there
you are
Close enough to behold but yet afar
Your smile is the same - your eyes are too
Beneath it all I scarcely know you
Feelings run strange and cast
a doubt
Dare a contact - send a feeler out
Memory is there but diminished some
Already I can sense the outcome
What might have been those
years ago
Is so far gone we will never know
Sigh of regret - reluctant acceptance
We move together - apart - in the dance
