Friendship circles

Dear friend,

please come again

with the need to begin

to cross the line that brought us to

our end

A Missed Moment

You Did Not Come 

And seconds stalled, sowing 

the sun

Left by the lure of your presence that day

There that my thoughts stopped crashing your touch

Then not even the sea could wash it away

Did you not know that your light meant so much

Saddened I, when as the moment confessed

It was done

You did not come

You love not only me

And love alone demands eternity

I know it and knew it. But unto the shore

of safety secured from movement we had

Was it not worth a little hour or more

Possibility lost, but I now understand

You needed something I could not be

You love not only me

Inspired/Imitation by "A Broken Appointment", Thomas Hardy
