Standing outside the hospital,
Enjoying the beautiful sky,
A memory from my past
Just happened to walk by.

I don't believe in coincidence:
I believe its God Anonymous
But what should be the reason
For this encounter of Us?

I haven't seen this person
For about a thousand years,
Yet, when our eyes met,
It was as though years disappeared.

We were young and foolish again:
That moment soon would pass,
And we behaved as any adults would,
We showed a little class.

But as we talked of simple things
Like what brought you here today,
My mind raced back to unsaid things
I'd give the world to say.

Are you happy?

Do you feel loved?

How is your family?

Do you recall with fondness
All the happy times we shared?
In quiet times, have you thought of me,
And if I really cared?

Do you wonder where our life would be
If only we had tried?
Do you recall the music;
Do you remember how I cried?

Our love was not to be,
Of that there is no doubt,
But it was good to see you,
And what you are about.

I'm placing you and all these thoughts
Into God's Arms above,
Just one more thought:
God Bless, and

Remember

You Were Loved.
