Once in this lifetime,

Between you and I

there was

a brief acknowledged familiarity,

a touch of fondness

a glow of happiness

and a secret path

to endless nights

unspoken pledges

now

I wonder with a heavy heart

 Days, months, years and decades

stand between you and I

I still remain

perched on the same very step,

where you left

Today I wont lament

as our eyes meet again,

will only inquire, a fleeting check,

If you remember it at all?
