Avery Won Poet Lyric

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
