Long Ago and Far Away

Meeting at a surprise birthday party
she and I admitted we knew only
one other person there - our date - now
busily chatting with another whose
date was casting for new prospects, too

In those different times each sought
someone eagerly who would stay by
their side and in the exchanges get to
learn that person well perhaps toward
the kind of affection and caring seen in
others - but even back then our hope of
having a love develop was much like it
appears today - long ago and far away


F William Broome 2009
