Stolen Glances

We were young when we first met
Stolen glances that sometimes locked
Then hesitantly we would look away.
Hushed moments were a plenty
Repressed emotions were disturbed
But we did not give in
For things were not just right
So we drifted..




Unspoken love went to the embers
I lived my life as you did yours
Worked hard to better our lives
And a score and four years had passed.
Families we have forged
Homes happily we built
Dreams we dared to reach
until we met again...

Stolen glances sometimes locked
Then hesitantly we would look away
You have not left at all...
