Another way of looking at the past

Once upon a time
there was a man
a poet,a dreamer,
who came to love
another poet,
a dreamer,a woman,
By accident they hit
each other -
jackpot of souls.
Once upon a time
a man loved a woman
she loved him
but could not contemplate
living down under
for her this was alien.
Once upon a time
there was a woman
who very realistically knew
that the two persons
him and her were
soul mates -
a yang and yin
but fated to never to be.
Once upon a time
in the book of souls
it was written that for them
it was a no-go
yet the left behind
wonders like never before
what if ---
alas, a mute point.
She smiles of
once upon a time
we did love one another
somewhere - somehow
and that's all
that matters.
