Meeting With An Old Lover

We had a very mad affair 
But that was years ago 
Now we are both turning grey 
Our eyes have seen sorrow and pain 
It was good to see her
We come from different traditions 
I am a somewhat observant Jew 
She was raised a Roman Catholic 
Does that matter? 
Some would say yes, others no 
I guess assimilation is on the table 
But I have been to Israel and that changed me somewhat 
Well two souls conversed this afternoon 
I don't regret it
