Gay's In Love...


...it's just that no one ever said
that after all these years
he would re-appear like an
answered prayer....like he
did every so often
in her wildest dreams

way back then...
they reached for it, but let it slip
from their hands...

she can't even remember
why....

interesting, how
gatherings like funerals
bring the lost and forgotten
back together


...but there he was....
walking that solemn pallbearer's
march

so handsome in his black suit

and her tears were mixed
with the sadness of the occasion
and the joy of seeing him again

....it became clear she had
not been forgotten

...soon they found
what had been lost...

& more...

bridging 30 years of separation
they cling to each and every
moment they can share...

knowing life is almost over...
so thankful for another chance...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gay's really in love

....they've got a firm grip on it this time...
