BAD IDEA

No, it’s not a good idea
Keep walking, don’t look back
So many years …. we’ve been apart
Don’t respond, please don’t react.

A coincidental meeting
Not meant to be today
Please don’t bother, don’t comply
There’s nothing left to say.

Don’t need a hug , don’t say “hello”
Too strange, it would feel weird 
I pretend you don’t exist
Don’t dare come over here. 

Don’t need to know …. you’re doing well
That you’re happy with her, too
Wish I had …. stayed home today
And, not run into you. 

But, here we are …. together again
Standing face to face
My heart racing, hands are shaking 
As we share a warm embrace.

Obsessions …. hard to let them go
True passion steals the show 
Before long you said, “goodbye”
Like you did so long ago.
