As I close my eyes
I can picture it all
How it just came together
How it then came to fall

Back then was another time
Seems like another age
We were actors amongst ourselves
Waiting to take to stage

Performing our little scenes and
Portraying our parts
With unconscious ease and
Speaking from sleeping hearts

Learning to hit the marks
And entrances on cue
Graceful movements
And improvising a line or two

Until finally act three
Comes to resolution
The applause helps
With the absolution

The curtain must come down
The audience disappears and somehow
We go back to being fitful strangers
After taking the final bow

And finally, as I close my eyes
I see pictures of us on the wall
How we seemed to come together
How we then came to fall

CG,

I love how you write of relationships.  This builds so nicely and I really appreciated the analogy to a play.  Good job.
