YOUR FACE AFTER YEARS

I saw your face;
It was lovely to see.
Only this time,
It didn’t mean half as much to me.

I saw your eyes;
They were still beautiful.
Only this time,
They didn’t seem quite so magical.

I saw you near;
It was a splendid thing,
That didn’t count,
For I also saw your wedding ring.
