the bitter and the sweet-
I can taste them on my tounge.
such pleasure and searing pain-
have they ever come together so?
I suppose they do when the one who left returns
and the one you're with departs
where is my love?
where is my heart?
enrapt because my friend returned
maudlin because my love detoured
then I heard a man singing...
'and nothing lasts forever, even cold November rain...'
did he write that song for me?
after the song ended I knew what my heart was saying
he who returned will stay
and maybe he who I was with isn't truly gone-
maybe today was just some cold November rain
