We wonder sometimes
My perception and yours
how different
we miss seeing
or we are
or would wish to be
or want to be remembered
as a person we once knew
in ourselves
together
yet now how different we are
still so very much
the same.
Love has a way of twisting our minds
in such a manner
we can’t ever really go back
whom we might then be
once idealized to be
ourselves.
