Rick's Deal Wasn't Perfect

by DR Varg

For so long, felt such envy
for that cafe owner, Rick.
He reached a settled state; one which
I would've liked to pick.

His crisis got in order, all
the issues, then addressed.
Such peace he felt; they parted and
He wished her all the best!

But though their separation was
a state Rick could accept;
their parting, it was final! No
more contact could be kept.

She flew away to live a life
in that far--distant place.
So, never could they reconnect;
No more, he'd see her face!

They said good bye; he wished her well.
Then off, away she flew.

Their paths would never cross again;
their time together, through!

The deal I got was not the same!
With me, much still is hid!
We never got to work things out
like Rick and Ilsa did.

I wished, for so long that Rick's deal
was something...came my way.
But now I sense another side;
...can contact her today!

So, unlike Rick and Ilsa who
could never meet, once more;
the chance, I got, which Rick did not!
Her, I can be before!

The tie 'tween Rick and Ilsa was
declared t'be at an end.
But I can visit Colette and
with her, some moments, spend.

She didn't fly off...disappear;
begin a life all new.

She died and now is resting in
a place I can go to.

And while I'm there, I feel such love;
...am filled with precious bliss!
Then when I leave, I touch her grave;
and say "bye" with a kiss.

When Rick and Ilsa parted, their
connection, then was o'er.
But Col and I can visit and
I feel our love once more!
