Former Great Love of Mine

Oddly you drift in my mind
Former great love of mine.
You were
3 engagements, 1 marriage, 1 divorce
and a lifetime ago.
I was innocent then.
You had me
Long before I loved and lost and loved and lost again,
Long before passing the bar and
Making my way in the big city.
Long before I had ever heard of "friends with benefits"--
You were a true friend of my mind and my heart.
And I remember the last thing you told me:
That I will be loved again
But that noone will ever love me quite as much as you.
I laughed then, knowing it was not true--
And I sigh tonight,
Realizing that it was.
