I met him
at the sunset of life
and it wasn't love

we complemented
like black and white
and it wasn't love

like north pole and south pole
yet attracted
and it wasn't love

logical and emotional
yet attached
and it wasn't love

we met at the false time
at the dead end of life
and it wasn't love

paths crossed
feelings up and down
and it wasn't love

we lived or parted
is a mystery forever
as it wasn't love
