Stranger

After years today ,i saw you again..
As ever you seemed: handsome and vain..

Feelings i'd assumed long dead,
Came back to life and rushed ahead..

We saw each other and our eyes met,
A flicker of recognition and then just regret..

Averting my eyes, i walk away again,
Behaving strangers was better than reminiscing old pain..!
