Ten strides ahead, two steps behind
Two times closer to the past that was,
A life well spent
A memory fondly remembered,
Two different phases
One step at a time.
The colourful but quieter first half
A one-sided smile, a stolen glance,
A common corridor, a common wall.
Three words in three years
A single gesture, a hollow presence.
Silence – Strangers – Sadness – Study
One after the other the saga unfolds.
The sober well directed second follows
A chance reconnection with the past,
A formal greeting, a friendlier talk
A chance to fill the gap that was.
From awkward to informal
Baby steps to a life long friendship,
Meaningful, honest and respect
A lifetime of memories to cherish again.
Beautiful...
