Do You Think She’ll Come Back?

We all have them. That person who touched your life and never left though they didn’t come back.

It may be a false memory of a time that was, but what would happen if they did show up after all the years?

 Would you recognize them? Would they recognize you?

Year’s experiences and lovers and mates and children and animals and moving and health issues and employment are all different and hard to describe for our individual adventures.

Whatever caused the separation cut the bond but the thoughts linger on.

Sometimes you might hear the name and a chill runs through your blood. Maybe that person meant more to you than you want to admit?

We meet many people in our lives, some have an affect and some are soon forgotten. Yet there are a few that you wonder what became of them.

When your dog runs away, you may grieve the absence until you get another dog. When your children leave home you stay in touch with them. When someone dies, you can morn the passing but there is no return (that we can scientifically document).

Lovers are a special group. Not only have they shared ideas and thoughts and spaces but bodily fluids. Intimacy takes relationships to another level.

Pictures can be torn up, screams can be heard, and gifts trashed, mental debasing of the other person can be a release from the emotion, yet still they remain.

Perhaps you attended a wedding, out of courtesy and proper etiquette, only to look down the pew at the row of fella’s who are just like you. All losers to the guy holding her hand up there and yet we are all lined up for a second chance.

After time you realize your dog won’t come back. The same should be for lovers separated by time and space.
