I met him today again
For the first time
Laughed and chatted
My eyes I batted
Not for love or for flirt
But just because
Raw and true
Is what I am when I'm with him
A friend from the past
Soon to fly back to New York fast
He has changed in his look and his laughter
He asked about any ever after
I said no
There are no rings to show
Couldn't ask him the same
Tongue was tight with shame
I'll see him again in two days time
Maybe, just maybe
Who knows?
He kissed my head with a lingered hug
For the very first time

I met him today again
For the first time
Laughed and chatted
My eyes I batted
Not for love or for flirt
But just because
Raw and true
Is what I am when I'm with him
A friend from the past
Soon to fly back to New York fast
He has changed in his look and his laughter
He asked about any ever after
I said no
There are no rings to show
Couldn't ask him the same
Tongue was tight with shame
I'll see him again in two days time
Maybe, just maybe
Who knows?
He kissed my head with a lingered hug
For the very first time
