How quickly that ember started to glow when after so long I saw you again
I could not imagine the feelings would ignite when  I saw your sweet face and felt your embrace
Thirty and five years since we parted and in a minute your embrace rekindled  my love

But we are not free to nurture  the glow
for time has passed and others have captured our hearts
Perhaps it would have been best to let  the memories of the past remain dormant
Than rekindle  a fire that can  not continue
