Plus ca Change...

by

McKenna Byrne

There's no returning - I understand too well,
Romance, however splendid, does not last -
Resolved to make the best; refused to dwell
On love's debris now blown into the past.
Pale, common time served well to separate
What once you meant to me, leaving no trace
Of you now to treasure or to contemplate,
Save for a vague recollection of your face.
Today, there's not a shred of doubt that I
Would hardly recognise you in the street;
You are never there among the passers-by
Or in the pub where we all used to meet;
Where I still drink in the old booth by the door,
Relieved that you don't matter any more.

Plus ca change, plus c'est meme chose [Fr]
The more things change, the more they remain the same.
