To a great Lady

I came to you with hopes of better things.
You were not young by any means, then,
yet had – you told me – other lovers, but
then I thought this would not bother me.
As long, of course, as I could have you too…
When walking down the streets with you
or sitting by the river (any place was good)
I once used to think that I was really happy.
I fell in love with you, utterly, completely:
the buses and the barges, the clean and dirty
streets that had become familiar, part of me.
And when I thought I knew you, there was,
suddenly, quite another, different, new you.
Do I still love you now? Who knows, only
time will tell, I am, right now, rather confused,
as I am leaving you – but not because of you.
One day, when very old, I’ll probably be telling
my grandchildren (some of whom know you
pretty well) about you, our love affair, that once
I lived with you, with London – a great Lady!
