old table
old table
sitting across from one another
words spoke what their eyes already knew
and the thoughts in her mind so freely poured
like cascading water in a pool of pure blue
they talked and laughed about yesterday
as if yesterday had a name of its own
and made plans to last beyond forever
yet they knew forever would soon be gone
painted with entanglements and gloomy shades
the old table was now tilted with a shadow of gray
bearing initials carved in the wooden top
to remind them of the joys of yesterday
now sitting across from one another
words they have spoken were already known
as long lost memories too soon forgotten
were here today then so quickly gone
