Past made Present
The hallway is dark and quiet
As I walk around the corner I see a package on the floor
It has been there for quite some time
It is old, battered, and torn
Stepping closer I read the label
With a start I see my name
Turn to set the package on a nearby table
Seeing the return address my face colors with shame
It was a present from a lover
That never came
Even though I now love another
Those old feelings are still the same
Open the package slowly
Not sure what to expect
Stare at the simple box in front of me
As though it were a secret I should protect
Within the package is a small red box
Containing a necklace
I thought Id lost
Found for a reason, this wasn't here by chance
I'll wear it always to be a reminder of my past romance
