Missed Connections

Passions flared
In moments
Softly fleeting
Twin flames
A happiness seldom felt
Cut apart
By the winds of change
The distance
Ever growing
Til the wick had gone out
No longer igniting
I cast it to the ground
Beneath the bridge
That Time
burnt down

i took her to the airport after a morning of passion...a long distance relationship of such spark...and that was the last time i saw her...a relationship with no official break up...one that time along with distance burnt down...still feels strange to think about it.

this poem reminded me...it's a beautifully sad poem...

Long distance relationships never work out for me. I heard it can be done, but, alas, I guess some things are just not meant to be. Thank you for your meaningful and insightful words j. I appreciate it.

Nice write, it probably reminds each of us what kind of similar happening occurred in our own lifetimes. Valentine
