Jane DoeHe sipped his tea
She kissed her coffee
As formally as could be
Words were exchanged
But conversations didn’t mean the same
At the back of her mind, were grocery and lullabies
He pretended to hear
But his mind steered clear
Once the ruling queen of hearts
Was sat here describing her daily tasks
And the boy who knew no more than books
Was sat consciously adjusting his looks
There was a past to this story
When a geek had met a beauty
They were different, so unlike
But love flowed within, alike
She loved her simple intelligent guy
But had ambitions of touching the sky
She bid him good bye for a while
She wanted to make it worth living a life
He was the one who was always content
For him money was a means and not the end
They were different, so unlike
But love flowed within, alike
And then…
Couple of years in waiting
Soon the two hearts were together beating
He looked the same, nothing about him had changed
She was popular as ever, her beauty hadn’t withered
She brought him a nice blue tuxedo
A remembrance, a memento
For she would be leaving soon this time
Returning to her beloved wasn’t yet destined
Few years later they met again
She was sat across him in a plane
He seemed to be dressed for power
An elegant blue tie on a plain white collar
He gestured to her like she were an acquaintance
She responded back with equal acceptance
Pleasantries were exchanged
But conversations no more meant the same
For they were different, so unlike
Love flowed no more alike
Today they were sat face to face
A fluke of luck, as they say
She had stories of motherhood to share
He had tasks far important to adhere
He sipped his tea
She kissed her coffee
Words were exchanged
But conversations did not mean the same
For they were different, so unlike
Love had once, flown alike
