A Better Time

I remember the time our limbs were intertwined Holding and kissing one another Feeling the excitement of a new romance But that was long ago Linking arms as we walk the promenade Stopping to linger in a lustful kiss Letting the world pass us by But that was long ago Dancing side by side Your body heat radiating onto mine Learning the mystery behind your eyes But that was long ago Laughing and telling jokes Wondering if you saw through my façade Hoping your hand would brush past mine But that was long ago Waving shyly as you smile A new face brought into my life Thinking you might be someone special But that was long ago Feeling the pain of brash decision The fear of guilt presses on Stuck in the nostalgia of a better time But this is now And that time was long ago ~~~~~ ''T'' Contest, New or Old Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France

Relationships are so complicated. With out children there is no glue.

Yes indeed, many a love song can be ended by the phrase, "But that was long ago."

Thank you so much :-) Right now I'm adding some of my older poetry to the site. I'm actually far more happy and bubbly than my writing suggests haha. I tend to write when I'm going through something serious.
