What Never Was by Amir Elzeni

I guess we all have
our memories, our past,

I threw out
every girl's number
I ever had, when I fell
in love,

and ten years later,
somebody finds me,
somebody always finds you,

and they write you,
email you, as if
the rain never got us wet,

but I am in love,

and they should know,

only fools
revisit.

  1. Yes, as if the rain never got us wet....
    only fools revisit.
    Quite a theme for a mid-life crisis.
    Thanks for sharing this work, keep sending it out

  2. It's pointless to revist past loves. Thanks for the lovely poem about that simple truth.

  3. You are right on with this. I, too, like the form and these lines:

    "...as if
    the rain never got us wet,"

    and

    "only fools
    revisit."

    I love this - highly evocative yet apparently simple. I especially liked the lines, 'somebody finds me,/
    somebody always finds you,'.
