Of Lost Years

Folder: 
Romance - Passion

It's been over twenty years since that

first day I really noticed you.

At the Christmas party, you were

elected to sing "Rudolph"

from the table top at that little

restaurant at Ybor.



We worked side by side, through

years of paperwork, depositions, and

trial prep. We argued

strategy and compared notes.

Once we worked all night, and

had coffee at 4 a.m.



Your marriage ended

in September, last year.

I went into your office

to offer my condolences.

You smiled.

"Where have you been all my life?"



We drank to lost years.

At last, we released

pinstriped emotions;

lovers frightened

by our own confessions.
