Love Poem: Looking Back At the Past

Looking Back At the Past

I stared along the littered street,
Recalled a former time,
Remembered walking hand in hand,
One day when you were mine.

And then I gasped and looked again -
I saw us standing there,
A younger you was kissing me,
I told myself,’ Beware.’

I stood alone and watched us kiss,
And couldn’t change the past:
The way we parted had to be; 
Our love would never last.

I blinked my tears and saw us fade
And once more you were gone:
The age old sense of loss intense,
I sighed and carried on.
