Reunion
We three were family once
as close as brothers and sister
We swung on swings, rode bikes in the park
and ran through the sprinkler, on hot summer days
Laughing noisy, wild kids
driving our parents crazy
Your mother my aunt, your father my uncle
though no blood ties existed
Just the ties of young hearts
who traveled through youth together
~
Than that day came
that darkened our hearts
The tears we shed together
as we huddled under a black umbrella
As the rain poured down from the dark skies
when we buried your brother, my "brother" Bobby
He was just seventeen, when he took his life
from the pain of love rejected
For thirty years after we didn't see one another
time passed and we went separate ways
~
Then yesterday, as I sat at the park
a sultry, husky female voice
called out my name
I turned and saw a beautiful vision
a tall blond woman with bright blue eyes and curly blond hair
You reentered my life
with that call of my name
The next two days were like a dream
we cried, we laughed, we made love
The years rolling back and forth
like the waves on the lake
My spirit that was so dark
was renewed by your smile, voice and touch
You had to leave today for a month
that, your job demanded...
But when you return
at the airport I’ll be.
Because now found,
I won't lose you again.
