I am sorry I didn’t mean to startle you,
I just wanted to say hello,
I guess you didn’t expect
to see me out of the blue.
This face now aged which
belongs way back in your history,
take a second and see
do you remember me,
or do I still remain a mystery.
Maybe I am being foolish to
think you would never forget
that time we spent
watching the sun set.
We promised each other
that no matter what happened
we would always remain friends
even when we knew
our love was going to end.
But over the years we lost touch
when one of us realised
that our friendship
didn’t mean that much.
That’s why I thought
I would say hello and
ask how you have been,
but I can tell by your eyes
you can’t remember what
it was like to be eighteen.
