This was a poem I wrote about Michael when we first reconnected after 17 years. Jody, you know about this but for those of you who don't the emotions flooded me and I totally lost myself in the memories and it took months for me to figure things out...so glad I did..but I thought this was nice anyway..
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
Who would have ever thought
that we'd be here again?
Who would have ever thought
that the tears would flow on end?
Who would have ever thought
like the fleeting butterfly
I'd migrate right into your arms
and with you I would lay?
Who would have thought
that this time would ever be
when you and I would feel again
those things that we did not see?
For long ago I met you
and lost you in the midst
my heart it cried, I dried my eyes
and moved on without a kiss.
And long ago I thought of you
each year and passing day
and searched for you among the crowds
a giant tidel wave.
And long ago I gave up the quest
thinking it was not meant to be
and here we are after all this time
again I am not free.
Who would have thought this would be us
from past lives long ago
forever yearning for your arms
to hold me in your soul.
Now here we are again my love
and here we're meant to be
the answers will come soon enough
they are written in the breeze.
Who would have thought I'd find you?
Who would have thought that this
would be the never ending story
of love's sweet bitter bliss?
For now my thoughts have turned again
to you and all we had
and even this can not dismiss
me feeling quite so sad.
For who would have thought
that we'd be brought
to this day and time?
Who would have thought
that all we want
is you and me entwined?
I do not have the answer now
I do not even know
where time will bring this love of mine,
this now tortured soul.
I only know that when we can
I want to be with you
and promise that I'll always be
right here, in your heart, so true.
