Lifeline

We touched hands today

For the last time as lovers.

Familiar and full of old feelings.

The tracing of your lifeline

Swirling like our time together,

It reaches a fork like we have.

You take one path I the other.

Even as we part

I feel old warm glows from before.

Your hand speaks to my fingertips

All the words we no longer can say.

left with empty silence.

I look at our time

a small part of your lifeline

full of promises and passion.

Now just echoes of the past.

Unable to return to the beginning

I am left alone once more

With my memories.

And all my yesterdays
