Last night we met again, <br />Surrounded by old friends <br />In the very place <br />Where we were seen together, <br />Many times before. <br />Me, alone, still my unique self, <br />You, as beautiful as always, <br />Accompanied by a new man, <br />Showing off without disdain, <br />Announcing that I have been replaced. <br /> <br />But, with my mind uplifted, <br />My heart completely calmed, <br />My pride untarnished, <br />I drank and danced <br />With the whole world, <br />Looking at you with indifference. <br />I danced and danced again <br />Celebrating with joy my new me, <br />Happy for being free. <br /> <br />Last night I saw the same picture, <br />But this time with a different frame, <br />You became a victim of your own game, <br />No longer feeling the love's flame, <br />And desperately you tried to hide <br />But couldn't find the mask, <br />The one from you, I proudly removed. <br />You forgot that I am I, <br />And that you are you. <br /> <br />Still with affection and love, <br />A soulful man I remain, <br />Even though, last night we met again, <br />Nothing is the same at all, <br />Since my past has been buried <br />And there is no need to worry <br />But to move on... <br /> <br /> <br />©All Rights Reserved-2011<br /><br />Romeo Della Valle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-summer-s-night-revelation/
