[b]An Old Friend
You greeted me with the same cheerful smile,
even after its been such a long while
With a twinkle in your eye you said hello.
With a gentle voice, soft and mellow.
We chatted and caught up on times of old,
Memories of days long gone we shared and told.
Words flowed with seemingly no effort
As we enjoyed each others company and comfort.
We reminisced the days we had together
When all troubles seemed light as a feather
We remembered the things that rended us apart
Of forgotten hurts and scars that made us smart
You told of your wife, as gentle as a dove
That no other could you consider your love
Happily married, a caring father too,
Of beautiful children born to you two.
Over the years, youve had the happiest of times
Until the somber knell for your wife sounded its chimes.
Your babies have grown and found loves of their own,
To form their families, away from you theyve flown.
Loneliness sets in as you struggled alone,
Depression and sadness you wish to atone.
Silent nights drove you into maddening fear
Of endless days that you may have to endure.
With one once lost, you sought to find,
Some comfort, love and a peace of mind.
You asked me out to meet you here,
For in your heart you still hold me dear.
But never will I, your wife replace,
For I too, have found my love in another place.
To him Ill give my all till the end
To you, all I can offer is to be your friend.

I love this a lot Kitty 
Well written !
