Passers-by on clouded streets,

Eyes downcast, 

Afraid to meet,

But by chance, two gazes see,

Recognition passed,

Choking feet,

Just as quickly,

Eyes are turnt,

Lock broken swiftly,

As if burnt,

Instant knowledge,

Has taken hold,

Once warm collage,

Since grown cold,

You know the deal,

How it works,

What once was real,

Now only hurts,

Memories bloom,

In one. In two?

A long-lost autumn,

Shared by fools,

With a snap,

The moment’s passed,

As passers-by,

Dismiss the past
