In honest simple verse

could have, should have, did not

A bar in Amsterdam, 1986. To Peter

could have, should have, did not

lost my mind years ago, you
were engraved in my soul, the two
of us a fairytale into
the darkness of a dream

those hours i met you, loved
the talk, the vibe, i shoved
us in the realm of toughed
up impossibilities

it all was beyond time and place
i never forgot you or your face
we met again, yes twice, the race
of improbabilities

those years apart never enclosed
what should have been if not to boost
the sweetest love, we could have toast
-ed eternity and back
