Love resurrected

We were known to each other.
You were wed to some other.
I didn’t let you know my desire.
You didn’t let me guess your desire.
Now you are a grandmother.
I want from you to know whether
You had for me then, a desire.
You nodded. I fell flat.
Yes, my love is fulfilled.
With that I shall ever live.
You are not mine, but were.
I cannot own you, but once.
By mind, though not by body.
Who wants body? I mind the mind.
To us, let others be blind.
