Closure

Was meeting you again by fate or chance?
I noticed your beauty at first glance
When I spoke you didn’t recognize me
It had been years since each other we did see
When I had often dreamed that you were all mine
Though you were committed to another at the time

Although the years had been good to us
We had changed so much since my boyhood crush
We talked and laughed the whole night through
Come morning either of us knew not what to do
We parted that day with a friendly kiss
No idea how much of you I was to miss

We began to call one another every day
Thus soon “I love you” I heard you say
Though miles apart we would attempt to meet
The embers of passion truly began to heat
Moments we shared, together, and alone
With loving whispers we romanced by phone

I truly loved you with my whole heart
It just couldn’t last while we were apart
When you said goodbye, I was left in a trance
Surely, time hadn’t come for a last dance

I still dream of you till this very day
Longing for once more I’ll hear you say
“I love you with my heart on fire”
“You’re the one I secretly desire”

If we ever meet again, by fate or by chance
Will we ever finish our last dance?
