Lover's Meet Again Two Views
Revision:
She: I watched you wrapping life in fantasy until you lost yourself in make believe. Appearances took precedence and we soon parted. I still wonder—did you grieve at all that I had gone? I didn’t leave you; I left a man I didn’t know. And should we meet again, we won’t retrieve the newness of the love that we let go. We are who we’ve become, with memories in tow.
He: It’s true, I’d hide behind a fantasy– intent that somehow I’d make you believe a prince had won your heart, but I knew we were far too far apart; for that I grieve. The maybes topped with what-ifs made you leave and I got lost in all I didn’t know. On meeting once again, we will retrieve the love we had before we let it go and parted, pulled apart by pride’s strong undertow.
