maybe then

maybe then
when we were here
the moon was high that night

but not right now
now that we've grown up
and learned the truth in fright

no one knows
what we did
and maybe then
i was a kid

but today
so far away
maybe we can be friends

   Mike , it sounds like a forbidden romance. The other "older someone" has since moved away and you (the poet) are still longing for them....Am I close? This could be read so many many ways... It's very straight-forward and leaves a lot for interpretation. Nicely done!

   Please read my poem "Seeds of Love". It is my favorite piece and yet no one has commented on it yet. I was an "abused" child and for me to write something so inspirational to other people just is not in my character. I really believe this came to me because when life sucks, you may as well grab it by the &^%$ and just go on.
