"Confess my loss"

@Uootem

As we glance at each other,
in a happenstance meeting now so rare,
you see us a childhood friends... for me lost loves.
My eyes reach out to yours
yearning for the vision of love once found there.

Now I must face as real the moment of truth.
no more do I have the opportunity to dream,
where everything always turns out so wonderful.

If no love I find there, I must finally confess my loss.
Many past events in our lives,
once together, for so long apart now,
have made me feel a vast emptiness in my heart.

But to be in a present-day moment like this,
with you so close to me again,
I feel my shortened breath, as I wish for us to kiss.
of the magnitude only dreamed from that day
When time and other cruel things separated us.

You say hello, in such a formal way.
no one around could ever have guessed
that once you called me love.

In order to escape the closure of my dreams
I speak only briefly then walk on past
as if I have somewhere else to be.
and start my dreaming of a more prolonged meeting
when you will rush into my arms... and show me love in your eyes.
