There once was a time
when you lived on the inside
When you pierced my veneer,
and saw what I saw
You knew what I knew,
and felt what I felt
Your thoughts were my thoughts,
your words finished mine
There once was a time
when our circles were one
Two spirit's concentric,
our soul's overlaid
That time has now passed,
the feelings have gone
Both circles left broken,
—with love on the run
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2017)
To Redeem
The past
is but a memory
The future
but a dream
The present
wrapped in splendor
This moment
to redeem
(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2017)

Honored, thanks for reading!
I am at the point try to understand how come once seemed as soul mate , eventually the feeling fade away. Is there a way to keep the feeling fresh? Keep the love from run?
Deeply touched by your writing.
Thanks! Tennyson once said : "Tis better to have loved and lost,
than never to have loved at all"
