Once More

Shall we meet again
In a new and different place
When I see you in the future
Will I recognize your face

I know your heart
The feelings you keep from me
Why are you hiding what you feel
Do you not want me to see

We are no longer 
Who we were before
Will I know you
When I answer the door

Is there going to be
Another meeting in our world
Shall we hug once more
Will the flag once more be unfurled
