Changes

It was so good to see her
After all those lost years
Talking of the good times
Never mentioning the tears

Really we always knew - It would have to end
Have to stop being lovers - And return to being friends
We said it would be fine -I believe the word is cool
But something went all wrong - We broke our own rules

And fell in love - A love so deep - It haunted days
Took my sleep – Incomplete - When not with her
Only complete - When she was there –
We scaled those heights together –
Both alive and on fire with lust
Our very dangerous existence
Made possible only by trust.

When the parting came -Although we both tried
Neither could hold the tears - just sat there and cried
Before our final parting - The only honest way
So many years ago until - I saw her again today
A chance meeting - Nothing arranged
One look - Nothing changed

Both being older and wiser
We could enjoy the day
Before  with a little sadness
Each went their separate ways
Both knowing that - The old intense desire
Was waiting still- Like live embers of a fire
That could be rekindled with ease
By a soft - And gentle breeze

It was so good to see her
After all those lost years
Talking of the good times
Never mentioning the tears
