After all these years

Funny how even after all these years
the sight of you across a crowded street
can still carry me back to a time
I had thought long dead and buried.
The mention of your name can still
after all that has passed since
bring that flush to my cheeks
as I recall that time so long ago
when I loved you so hard and so true
and you, how have you been
did you reach your goals
did you live that dream
Was she right for you
was it worth the scream
that we both heard
escape from my lips
the night you told me
that our love had died.
