I was staggered by her robust embrace
“…what has it been, twenty, twenty-five years? ”
she still,
...
So this is she
the mighty Atlantic
she is
as majestic as I expected

I am a published poet having published my first works " Inspirations, " in 1993. I am working on my second book of poetry hoping to publish by years end. I am presently a counselor as I enjoy marriage and family counseling. I feel I am at a point in my life where I am just beginning to enjoy and appreciate everything about life. Onward!)
The One That Got Away
I was staggered by her robust embrace
“…what has it been, twenty, twenty-five years? ”
she still,
Developed
the flooding memories of
all those years ago
my initial attraction
apparently she has forgotten
or failed to recall
my unreturned
affection
calls and letters
her desperate pleas
I so easily dismissed
I being then
in a different place
a different man
a different time
openly sharing myself with
other developed ones
yes of course I too have evolved over time
I tell myself
preferring the vineyards over the taverns and developed bars
bistros and cuisines trumping greasy spoon reservations
big boy agendas versus one-night stand associations
I tell myself
but she unmistakably
evolved
out-classed
socially seasoned beyond my depths
she
resenting or harboring no ill-will against me
rather she
embraced the memory of
what was and never was
and the folly of her heart
time reflecting
time compartmentalizing
me
as merely the one
who deemed her unworthy
time would in return
exchange me for a gentlemen
who would take her
and all her developments
and tenderly coddle her
inch by supple inch
investing in the whom I could not
to gain her forever
she walks away
into the rest of her happily-ever after me
I still, clearly unattached
at least not by law
with my reservations for one
maybe for two at the eleventh hour
“…it was good to see you too”
