She asked him about his writing

And he responded

The words continue to be scrambled

While searching for a purpose to be spoken

The world evolves

Grows

Nurtures

Decides

She looked at him for a moment

And he realized

It was just like high school

The eyes were the same

Her lips sparkled

Yet he couldn’t get past the sad smile

Such a telling moment

When an individual comes to realize

Their words no longer energize

That person they loved to delight
