Yesterdays' Love

I saw my yesterdays' love today, on a quiet, shady, backstreet lane. I knew his eyes, though his hair was grey, said he'd forgotten my married name Or would have called me when moving back to see how life had been treating me. Just words said to fill time's slack Smiling, we talked two moments or three Then we hugged and each went on our way, and I thought how easily our romance, we dreamed would last forever and a day, became a passing meeting by chance.
