Fading Hand

It's been ten years
from the day our eyes linked
our first hand interaction
forming the powerful foundation
that is now fading
dark mist divides us
before I'm gone forever
I put up my hand
and say three final words
"We never met."

A powerful ending to your poem. The idea of a creeping estrangement (+ loss) from the first eye-hand interaction is strongly conveyed. Congratulations! Brian
