What Happens Then

When our journey began, had no idea where it would lead.

We threw caution to the wind and started to proceed.

In nurturing our relationship, other feelings grew within

We were on our way to lovers instead of being friends

From such innocent beginning is how it all got started

We even remained lovers, up until the day we parted

There were the good times we lived loved and laughed

 

In our hearts we must've felt, those time would never past

We did all the wonderful things which lovers should do

I thought the sun rose everyday, for me to look at you

Sad times often follows happy times, things begin to change

The happiness we once knew, lost in meaningless things

We came upon a crossroad, deciding for the other's sake

Time had come in our relationship to make a clean break.

The only option left open wwe should become best friends

Would it be a good idea, and could we ever transcend

Choices aren’t so simple in transitioning from one to another

Can two really become friends, after they've been lovers.

When ex-lovers out with each other will new loves understand

Or ex-lovers out with new lovers, will ex-lovers remain friends

Among the many other things, ex-lover have to think about

Can one accept the other as a friend beyond reasonable doubt

Will old feelings die hard letting them not get beyond the past?

Making it almost impossible for this new friendship to last

Will the two of them in  final resignation call the other friend

Once they've settled into the friendship, what happens then.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
