Then versus Now

Then, you weren’t very patient
Now, now you want me to hold on
Then, we had long lingering lunches
Now, it is quick coffee visits
Then, I would receive text messages every morning, we would stay up late and talk on the phone for hours, emails would fill up my inbox every day
Now, I’m lucky if I hear from you
Then, you use to love it when I wrote about you
Now, you wish to keep my poems in secret
Then, I could feel your eyes adoring me
Now, you barely notice the affection that I have for you
Then, I would fall asleep thinking of you
Now, the memories are just too painful to remember
Then, the smell of your skin lingered on me
Now, I can’t recall the taste of your lips
Then, oh yes Then, I would do or give anything to see and be with you
Now, I surrender
