THE GAP BETWEEN PAST AND PRESENT
I used to dwell on
The past,
A lot,
As if it was cast
In stone,
I had fallen in love at first sight,
As had he.
That wonderous night,
I had found Mr. Right,
We danced and danced
Till late,
To be together was
Our fate,
We exchanged numbers,
The disco was closing down,
We were the last to leave,
He knew how I felt,
I wore my heart on my sleeve,
The next day I knew how he felt
Two dozen red roses with a card,
I love you.
We were involved in a whirlwind
Romance
Per chance,
We would get married.
No not yet, it was not our time
At this point in this rhyme.
I got married to someone else,
So did he,
I gave birth to a wonderful
Little boy
As did he and his wife
I had heard,
But would have preferred
To not have been told this news,
It made me sad
It sounded so final
That he was a dad,
But truthfully, for him
I was glad.
I will never forget the beard,
He sported,
His vivid, good- looking face
Never felt blurred.
I did bump into him one day,
We went for coffee, right or wrong,
He felt the same as me,
This was the present, we had to face,
Our folly that we did not get married
Many years ago.
There we were,
Sitting eye to eye,
My tummy in knots
I cannot tell a lie.
Four more long years went by,
I was by now divorced
2 years later A friend
Who always gave me the news
Told me He was also divorced,
Oh golly gee,
What pray tell me,
Happens now.
Three years later, from the
Love of my life, I get a call,
He asked me out
Enthusiastically I agreed
No doubt.
It took him three weeks to propose,
We got married 6 months later.
I did say at the beginning,
That it was our fate,
However long it took, although
Things did happen in time, a little late.
So, two adults hopelessly in love
And two teenage boys,
Started a new family,
I love to hear
Happily, together forever
And ever.
THE END.
