In the time before time
when first we loved each other
there weren't any others
vows were made to keep
love was strong and deep
when the era was over
we were in different realms,yet
the connection was never severed

Eons passed and once again
though different appearances
we met and mated knowing
that we had been united before
without questioning our destiny
with faith and passionate intensity
we lived and loved for many years
until once again time separated us

Then,I was sitting at an outdoor cafe
you  at the next table with a woman
our eyes met and held with certainty
that we had known each other before
the feeling so strong and sure that
when your wife  went to the restroom
you came over and said we had to meet
we did once a week for the next 10 yrs

We wondered why things had changed
we knew we were meant for each other
not wanting to hurt anyone we were
confused longing to be together again
but how could we explain to his wife
and my husband and our children
so we met in secret hoping the next era
changed back to how it had been before
