Do I Ever Come Across Your Mind

"Do I Ever Come Across Your Mind?"


Past thoughts and memories
invade present realities.
With the impact they possess,
they either clobber or they caress!

But these were thoughts of you
with the love and joy we both knew!
I couldn't help but wonder in kind,
"Do I Ever Come Across Your Mind?"

I relived the loving moments
along with sad, 
heart wrenching torments!
One moment I was flying high
and in the next, 
falling from the sky!

Those were love's 
lessons learned,
along with life's wisdom 
that was earned!
I couldn't help but wonder in kind,
"Do I Ever Come Across Your Mind?"

"Forgive and Forget!"....
Is what they all say!
The memories neither fade 
nor do they simply go away!
This "Ecstasy and Agony" 
stroll down memory lane,
recalled and relived the joys 
and still some of the pain!

Neither time nor distance 
can diminish the feel,
of having once known love, 
when that love was so real!
Again I couldn't help but wonder in kind,
"Do I Ever Come Across Your Mind?"
