Circumstance

It is not relevant

The circumstance.

Except to say we met –

To say we met by chance.

Those many years ago

We did not say farewell

We left, by circumstance,

A subtle kind of hell.

We sat, we smiled

We looked into the other’s eyes

We sat and smiled

And told each other lies.

I stood to leave

She used to have my heart

She stood to leave

We walked away

Apart.
