Two lovers sat.
Perhaps ex-lovers really.
Their memories of love and joy and happiness all frozen
Turned to solid ice
While they go through love’s motions.
Their love was real. Once.
Passionate and soul-enthralling.
Not now.
A frost has come – first one heart froze. And then the other cooled also.
What now?
What can he do to win her love again?
For love once lost is harder to reclaim.
Does she want her heart reclaimed? By him?
One lover sat alone.
The other’s gone to work. She may come back.
Or not.
