Your face appeared
Out of nowhere
Didn’t even recognize
The face of sultry encounters
Shared when we were
Younger
Fiercely independent
Yet not ready to face the world
Because of
What could be

Back when seeing you
Was a big secret
When my out-of-town excursions
Opened my eyes to
What could be

Monday morning staff meetings
Filled with the sense
Of your presence
And the smiles
Everybody could interpret
I know now
Everybody knew
What could be

Ten years later
There you are
Making me question my choices
No, no regrets
Just thoughts of
What could have been

Wow, and you thought it was a secret!  Maybe love will come back out in the open.  Great poem.  ME
