LONG TIME DEAD!

Have a fading photograph.
It's etched in an album in my mind.
Was not a real image.
Imagined being there on their wedding day.
Memories of days passed yesterday.
Saw the two of them.
Looked still in love.
Holding hands.
Walking down a busy city street.
Prompted me to think a while.
To see such love gave me a smile.
Made me wish that I had found the same.
Never is to be.
I questioned in my mind.
What could their secret be.
Did they have children.
Maybe like me.
Don't believe that love is for real.
After years of feelings changing.
Love becomes friendship.
Friendship companionship.
Years bring intensity with strength.
In defence of one another.
Rough and smooth.
Storms ridden.
Still they made it through.
Tears welled up.
If wishes were kisses and wishes were true.
Could have spent my life with you!
