I wrote this poem in 2006. The inspiration for this poem is the result of an unexpected meeting with a friend, who is an ex-boyfriend. When we ran into one another I was assisting someone with medical services at a local hospital.  We had an awesome conversation, but based on the circumstances it would not be.  When you feel close to someone even after a relationship is over and you allowed a friendship to stay; no bitterness towards the decision for breaking up, have you ever wondered why not even when the circumstances are not in your favor.

 

IT NEVER STOPPED

When we met again,

But not as childhood friends,

I realized,

It never stopped.

When we reminisce of what was then,

I realized,

It never stopped.

When we laugh about life,

Of what has come,

Of what is now,

And what will be,

I realized,

It never stopped.

The “me” of then is still the “me” of now and

I realized,

It never stopped.

We feel it!

We see it!

We hear it!

But, do we

Answer it?

It never stopped…

LOVE.
