Reunion

I see her standing
On the sidewalk.
All alone.
I gaze into her gray eyes,
And remember days bygone -
Of times spent
Bathing in the sea,
Drying ourselves
Under a warm sun;
Of times spent
Lazing in the shade,
Feeling each other
Breathe;
Of times spent
Running in the rain,
With people staring
Out of jealousy;
Of times spent
Without words intruding
Upon our silent company.

She looks away,
The pain of separation
Evident in her eyes.
It's been years now.
I've been with others,
I've changed,
And so has she.
Her memory endures
Inside me.
But she can't
Make me out.

I then whistle
Her favourite tune.
She looks up,
Remembering,
Recognizing,
And trots over,
Her tail a-wagging.

Until next time, Bye! ;)
