Goodbye Old Friend..it was an adventure!



Today you lost me and I lost you...no compromise possible...
We shall survive and I wish you well, no, really I do...
Our love was a fireball on wheels...destined to explode...
As is a song I heard, that's what you get when you cross a hurricane & a tornado...
I will remember you well and file them in the memory motel of my life...
We managed to play and eat cake till we got sick...
No future in it and now we're both slaves to our respective masters...
We both should have been born into a royal life...gentry at the least...
Please try to see that I bode you no malice...never a thought in my head...
I just never did anything quite fast enough for you...although always done in the end...
These will be years I'll remember, but not through tears...they serve no purpose...
A blind date that lasted almost three years...
I miss you already, but you've been gone now quite a while...
The fly was generous to us in the end and gave us five weeks of blissful connection...
More than some ever get...and then it all came down and the wind blew westward...
You know where I'm to be found... Just across the river, through the desert and down a hill there's an oasis...
It will be the last resting spot of this now very old soul...
Who will spend his days remembering...Fourth of Julys and Sundays...
And smile....
