Ages ago
when we were
young
at heart
we knew
the meaning
of love.
We fell in love
without warning
and with
passion beating
in our hearts.
But life goes on
and love either grows
or it dies
or it becomes hidden
because
we have forgotten
was it was like
to fall in love.
Another life
another time
mostly remembered
with angst in our hearts.
Our myriad emotions
getting lost in the shuffle
of past, present, and future.
Lost in a sea of memories
that intertwine
like the ebb and flow
of the receding tides.
A glimpse of
what might have been.

I was watching the movie What If last night to help me relax but it kind of opened up a place in my heart that I haven't really examined in years. It made me think of someone I met long ago. A stranger who I was drawn to reluctantly, initially, but became a challenge to my senses over time. A friend who is now a stranger once more. It was a tumultuous time for me because while I was infatuated with one guy I was falling in love with the other unknowingly. Sometimes I wonder what if?
But there could be more than one "what ifs?" You know? Getting older and wiser and knowing what would have worked and didn't... Chemistry is a part of love but not the only thing... Shared values, kindness, laughing together, CONNECTION!!!
And just being quiet together...
