A Memorial Lunch

Having lunch in the afternoon Sitting at a table for two We filled the time between us Doing what people do Catching up on the time That has passed between us Talking about things going on But we never talked about us It seems we both avoided What we didn’t want to talk about We both did a very good job Maybe because we were filled with doubt But the afternoon was pleasant As we sat and talked while we ate Maybe deep inside both knowing Our attempts are too late What we shared for so very long Maybe it can’t be saved But I know that when we were together How much the two of us really cared © 5-31-10/RJH
