Over

How do you
Move on once
It is over? When
Your mutual goals
No longer overlap one
Another and things begin
To cause friction where before
There was harmony sharing love
Delighting in each other’s arms
Yet now it is gone only some
Memories left as it is no
Longer fun to live as
One and you must
Make a new life
For yourself
Elsewhere
Alone.
I wonder
If it is worse
To miss your other
Half once gone or to
Try and start over again
Elsewhere but in either
Case the worst is to
Be alone when you
Are used to being
A couple. I am
Alone each
Night and
Mostly
Days
Yet
I feel
Renewed,
My old friend
From long ago
And I lunch once
Or twice a week at some
Restaurant or my condo and
We talk of old and new times
Enjoying creating some new
Memories to share both
Still sharp in old age
Both eager for new
Adventures to
Share new
Places
To see and
Of course dessert.
