Once Again


It was in my youth I saw you,
on a crowded subway train,
when our eyes met briefly,
love struck us both with pain.

For we both got off together,
and briefly touched our hands.
Our eyes shared an honesty,
as deep as the desert sands.

Then, you were lost in the crowd,
and I never saw you again.
Taking that route to work every day,
wishing to see you more back then.

But my wish was never granted,
our eyes never met anymore.
But I longed to see you once again,
as our lives moved on to more.

With my life now on the wane,
I often remember that refrain,
we felt when our eyes met,
on that distant temporal plane.

Now, I wonder if it ever happened,
our eyes won't ever meet once more.
Why you've suffered so much longing,
waiting for me on some distant shore.

This never happened, but three or four times in my life
I have had brief encounters with women where we had a
magic relationship immediately. Unfortunately, she was
either married or otherwise engaged.
