After a long pause

It’s been a while
Since I’ve seen you
Or talked to you

You are not waiting
For me,
For what may happen
For what has already
Changed

It seems silly
To forget
That you where important
For me
For life

But when we
Stupefied by
Whirls and wounds
Lapse of memory
Don’t remember
The other

Are caught
By sudden strikes
Of emotion

The past comes
Make haste
And we know
That it is missing

Welcome back
We may greet
And try to move
As if all that has changed
Only improved our lives
And helped us to
Keep going
