Sweet Moments Recalled

you meet someone you haven't seen for decades what do you talk about where do you start right where you left off all those years ago if it's an old high school chum you might recall teachers or school plays or sports teams if it's a college roommate you'll probably relive a few of those drunken bashes that you'd be ashamed to talk about with anyone else if it was on your first job you'll laugh at what eager beavers you both were, pedal to the medal to hit those targets, to please the boss whatever it took to move up another notch but what if 'it' is 'a she,' an old flame of yours an affair whose embers still burn deep in your soul

Memories (high school & college reunions), and then meet the one that got away. What might have been! Nice verse, take care.

Some people incite us into feelings we have that we were unaware were right under the surface the whole time! This reminds me of that.

That's exactly how it works sometimes, methinks. Bullseye, Caren.

Always great to catch up with old friends, picking up right where you left off. However, with an ex, you might just want to hide. So many emotions can be stirred.

I hear you, Juliet. Avoiding an ex's face is probably a wise move. ~ Masked Man

Oooo! The one you let slip through your fingers. The one you keep asking yourself "What if?" about. Things happen for a reason. Maybe the time wasn't right. Maybe she/he wasn't right. Maybe at the time YOU weren't right. Or then again maybe you made a stupid mistake. The thing is you both moved on and married other people. Now here he/she is and you gotta figure, don't make another stupid mistake. God write my friend. God Bless, JB

You sure have me pegged, Judy, although in the end, I think thgwat I slipped through her fingers -- as in the end, she would no longer have me. ... A long time ago. :)
