For you, sometime soon
One day we’ll talk,
when life decides to throw us at each other,
one more time.
I’ll say “how’re you”
you’ll say “good, and you?”
maybe we’ll have kids to tell each other about
a husband, a wife.
One of us, will be late,
for something supremely mundane,
like lunch with a friend
or getting groceries
We’ll exchange pleasant, hesitant farewells
and with a single look,
we’ll say a thousand words
that should’ve been said some night,
some years ago.
then we’ll have talked,
for the last time,
as people who used to be in love.
