avoid

In case we meet again

Something I was thinking of writing
to you on this occasion,
not an occasion of significance for you
but nevertheless an occasion.

And I want no response from you
so please do not feel stressed
that we parted and we met
as I still see the palaces and the rest

It's that here and there I think of you
and know though you avoid my glance
that there is a place where I still go
and conjure you to dance

so if by tree or stone you find
me by chance, in too close a place
know that still I can recall
the beauty of your grace.
