Older and Wiser

Older and Wiser

(7-31-10)

Was it just yesterday when I saw you

Walking up the street

Skinny as can be

Eyes trained staring at me

A smile on your lips

Eyes hard to resist

We talked

We sneaked

Made out

Once or twice a week

I couldn’t wait to see you

I was your candy

You were my cameo

22 years later

We’re back to a future we don’t know

Picking up where we left off

As if it were only a pause

A trace

A minute of time

A phase

This time older and wiser

Seasoned with time

The chemistry still ripe

Juicy ready to bite

With patience on our side

We can slowly collide

All the passion left unfinished

Explore our sensual side

And let fate be our guide

The season has passed

And fate has decided

The hands of time can’t turn back

We aren’t the same

Our mindsets are rearranged

What could have been new

Has now become unglued

Your lifestyle and choices

My expectations voices

Are not compatible to mine

The lack of communication

By phone, text, or email

Has caused a strain

And left me waiting to exhale

So we’ll let sleeping dogs lie

And see this as another passing tide

For the older me

Says leave the drama at the door

And the wiser in me

Says it wasn’t the real thing once more
