Heart of Hearts

Heart of hearts so many

years have passed us by,

since last seen you, old age

has set in for both of us.

Our hearts once touched

our life thinking we would grow

old together, many things came

between us to cause us to go

our separate ways, now each of

us are paying for what mistakes we

made so many years ago.

Although many people can relate to your sentiments, I feel like this poem was written just for me, James. Remorse grows as years pass and I miss people who were special in my life. Definitely a fave for me. Love, Carolyn
