Why Now...Why Ever? ? Poem by June FeirCruz

The winds of seasons have passed us
Ninety Six times to be exact.
All these years, not knowing where you are
Unsure if you still walk this earth.

Why now?
Why did we meet again?
Just when I thought my life is over
Did you come to resurrect me?

Are we here to turn each other's lives upside down?
Are we here to turn back time?
Are we here to remind us it is not too late?
Are we here to love again?

It starts and ends with you, my love
You haven't changed much
The same eyes that looked at me with desire
The same lips to make me feel the burning.

The same intensity
The same fire.
The same impulsiveness
The same conviction.

What are we to do?
What am I to do?
If I decide to stay
If I decide to go

There is the price to pay no matter what choices we decide to make...
