Sometimes It Ends Too Soon Poem by Ray Hansell

I saw you today
For the first time in years
I just stood there looking
Trying to control my fears

You still looked the same
As I called out your name
You turned to me and smiled
I almost felt ashamed

Quickly you stopped
For a while we stood talking
But you had to go
Soon you were off walking

You went your way
I went mine
For a brief moment
We were back in a different time

Its funny how time
Can heal all wounds
It’s sad the way some loves
Sometimes end too soon
