Lost Love
LOST LOVE
I should not be feeling this way,
Perturbed by a distant past,
Fluttering its insidious allure
Into an immediate moment of impact.
We met again before my departure,
Me, almost drawing near you
To feature as a couple
Just for a split second
For an offered photoshoot,
And you, showing a flawlessly
Radiant smile.
No, that once-present time is now past,
Just as the time before was past
Consideration because it would
Distract from continuous living.
We said goodbye, including
An ultimate embrace, which may have
Meant more than it was
But was not worthy of being lingered
To fray our rekindled friendship.
A cool mind is needed to control
The fire, burning the lengthy
Wasteland of separate intervals
And render them as harmless ashes
To maintain the status quo.
