What Became Of Those People – Written Tuesday 27th May 2025 (Aged 50)

What Became of Those People

I wonder
what happened to —
became of —
those people
who crossed my path.

I read about them,
but what became
of those intimate conversations,
daily lives,
and normality caught?

I read about them
in faded
and sometimes yellowed pages,
but their names —
well, their names
will be forever sought.

I wonder
what happened to her.
Those nights we shared,
that so-called love-hate,
i left her
many years back —
and it was like a time
when everything
changed track.

I wonder —
I wonder
what happened,
or became,
of those people
who crossed my path.

I read about them
in my books,
but their names
escape me —
although I still remember
their look.

paths crossed,
but time,
means their names are lost
as passages of time,
dial down the feeling and cost
