Once the from dawn to dusk and to the advent

Of the soot smudged hours of the diamond studded night

We wers together basking in the glow of companionship

You knew my moods through and through

And I could read your expressions ene when veiled like a book

You loved me as I was moles and scars and blemishes

And I accepted you with all your faults in my heart

Though crib I would endlessly about the slightest mistake

And you would we ready with wittiest of retorts

We were there for each other, a calming hand

When the volcano of insane fury burst into lava of abuse

And a comfortingly warm shoulder to cosily lean on

On a cold frosty morn veiled by gossamer mist

With selfless love we helped each other in need

It was the strongest bond emotions could breed

But as the tide of Time changed its course

And the paths of our lives diverged in aeparate directions

Our lives no longer entwined by togetherness

We tried against Time’s dictates to keep alow the flame of love

But as communication lagged with new preoccupations

We lost touch in the crowd of miling hunanity, a sea of faces

And now you are no longer my alter ego, my shadow

Your memory is a distant dream, you face faintly remembered

But blurred by the fog of passing moments condensing on mind,s canvas

And You are to me a stranger vaguely familiar

Though memories of the shared past are still guilded…
