It Is What It Is, It Was What It Was, By: Allison Walters Luther

November 22, 2024 by Allison Walters Luther

It Is What It Is, It Was What It Was, By: Allison Walters Luther

Past lover
within the present
Handing out safe memories
and friendship
like candy tokens or
some exotic drug of
what-might-have-been
No danger with them then
or now
Only missed chances
and friendship
and forgotten passion
