Lost and Found

We were acquainted
a time long ago
thought we had it all
what did we know
 
Far too naive  
in our ignorance
to care for what we had
existing in a trance
 
Thinking we would last
without effort applied
we began to fall apart
to ourselves we lied
 
When we separated
something profound, lost
the fire that burned
became a frost
 
Years passed
a space remained
unspoken passion
fortuitously ingrained
 
As soulmates do
we reconnected
a second chance
was unexpected
 
Once abandoned
we resurrected
past is now present
our lives redirected
 
Wholehearted and grateful
for what we saved
walking together
a new path engraved
