Recapture the Feeling We Felt
I’m fighting with you
in a déjà vu
of a fight we had before.
I try to remember
that day in September
and the wedding dress you wore.
As the years went by
we forgot how to try
to forgive and to forget;
Now we’re nearing the end
of being best friends;
a conclusion we would both regret.
Do you think we can turn
and try to re-learn
how to love each other instead?
Stop all the fighting,
the bickering and biting
and revisit each other in bed.
Not all the history is bad;
there was a time we were glad
to be called a husband and wife;
Recapture the feeling we felt
when the nuptials were dealt
and we united for the rest of our life.
We might get a surprise
how a compromise
so easily we can reach;
If we both admit
this silly fight to quit
and learn what to our kids we tried to teach;
That family,
which includes you and me,
deserves our patience and our care;
Which is something that we,
or so it seems to be,
for each other lost the ability somewhere.
