Entropic Thoughts of You

I whispered our secrets to the north wind,
Little knowing they would reach other ears.

I dreamed we had an everlasting love,
But those dreams turned out to be illusions.

Opposites attract, but some opposites
Are too polar to accommodate change.

Sad truth: regret and loneliness endure,
Though our lives drifted apart long ago.

Like an achingly sad song, our lost love
Remains on constant replay in my head.

A full moon lies cradled in the treetops,
And you sit here in the back of my mind.
