Then and Now

It's been a while since I last wrote here. Life's kept me busy in a nice way. The poem below was a spontaneous one and has not gone through any editing as such. Inspired by the lives of many around me.

Then there were
Secret smiles
Clandestine conversations
Passionate encounters
Every second together
Mattered
Every minute apart
Shattered

Now all that’s left is
Lingering feelings
Unfulfilled desires
Longings
Quiet sighs
Silent tears
Known and
Unknown
Fears

Even as I
Voice myself
Through my words
I can sense
Your discomfort
Try as I might
It will end
There’s a sense
Of finality
Tonight
