Before
That Day Comes
Long before God calls you to Heaven
You will have to see me
again
Not
just as a thought on your mind
Or
a fleeting feeling slipping through your fingers
But
as the man you fell in love with, undiminished
Before you I will stand just as you remembered
Unbowed and full of passion,
Forever
young trapped in time
Waiting
for you to reach for my love
As
I would have reached for yours
Together
we would have lost ourselves
In
the newness of a first love blossoming
Somewhere
in the past the future hasn’t happened
We
live under the illusion that our love will be forever
This
is how I choose to remember the way we were.
Jéan-Pierre,
Dean
