when?

i wanted you
yesterday

     where were you
then?

in the now
     i can see
whatever we thought
     was almost

i saw you
today
     and there you were
again

     what if’s forgotten
     maybe’s
     and might-have-been’s
all there was 
     
     was that one time
     when
there we were

you remember
     when?

i remember my high school girlfriend in reverse of this poem....but i still do remember when...
back then, now? what if's---

we all have those...in fact...i am back in touch with someone lately...we've talked a lot about the yesterdays, and what if we had both been free...but life takes its course.

your poems are always such that i relate in some way...
that is a special gift you have.

i like that you can step so easily into my shoes or the shoes of the voice attached to the pen, whomever that is who seems to take over ;)

Thank you so much, my friend.
