Looking Back 15 Years Poem by Guido Blokland

I watched you
drift away
out of sight
as I moved off

I was not to know
as the train
gathered speed
that we'd not meet again

As I drifted off
the mist gathered further
as it had done
for some time till then

I did not see
until 't was
perhaps
too late

Five years passed
and I alighted
onto the same
station platform

You were not there
your prediction,
unheard by me,
had come true

You remain with me
though
you're part of me
always there
