Never meant to be together

Never meant to be together.
First date
a park
cooing at the view
hands all clasped
giggly, goggle-eyed gazes
through the falling mist
at each other.

Your Marlboro Light smokescreens
brought tears to my eyes
my football
brought
yours
and we cried.

Holidays - our passport
I packed 'me'
you packed 'you'
and baggage allowance
failed to hide the
in excess.

The day came.
You'd found strength
said the unsaid
my dam burst
you baled
until your arms hurt
I left first.
