ACCEPTING

l see you standing
You who have been there for so long
From my beginning
Or so it seems

We are now no longer lovers
No matter
We have always been friends
From way back

Those long forgotten summers
When rain ran its fingers
Through our lives, and
Still I strive to come

To come to terms,
With not being lovers
It’s if, ands, and. buts
That make up life

Life’s like the wind changing direction
It passed me by
One day
While I wasn’t looking
