M-friends perhaps who really could speculate today

J-no one really knows but some might choose to say

M-lust comes in strange packages at bargain prices

  on the anonymous line

J-like in the grocery store or perhaps the used car lot

M-one flat too many or old onions are similar chances

  one takes when surfing for such a paramount sort of

  value

J-a diary found of long lost loves

M-though the pages were clearly weathered and worn

  the contents was like reading of peace in the worst

  possible storm

  volumes of such great depth and emotions came

  tumbling forth

J-68 cents was the asking price and a fortune of love

  lost in its place

  no value could rest upon such grace

M-ah but the sweetest sad irony of life

  love lives on though its rarely quite so well

  remembered or traced

J-its a story of these two locked in verbal exchange

  of love's lust passion and change

M-a tale of life told in full vivid detail

  many long years passed its initial blooming

J-so just as a rose withers in dust

  so is this tale of love

  passion and lust.............
