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
turned to 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
