A Renaissance of Love

I spend days thinking of you my amour And nights dreaming of you my dear Your smiling image is stuck in my eyes And your voice is buzzing in my ears It’s fascinating after so many years I still reminisce of your sweet apple pies When you used to spoon-feed me And wipe my lips with kisses of honey. I tried to forget you, to move on I tried to erase the past from my mind To adjust to a novel life and to go on Like a myopic imbecile, I failed to find Justifiable reasons to flee like a third rated coward In the past, I may have been haphazardly right Winning no tangible reward And you, at times, wrong. When lovers fight At the end, both become losers. Oh! Lord It doesn’t matter who’s correct or incorrect When a couple is in love. No union is perfect This is a new day; I hope that we’ll be in agreement So you and I can write a brand new will or testament By giving ourselves a new opportunity A new chance to be together for eternity. You live in my heart. You’re always in my mind I pray that you’re are more mature now and kind And with the help of the Almighty, I’ll be more tolerant And you and I will be wiser with a new temperament I spend days thinking of you my dear And nights dreaming of you my amor I am waiting and yearning for a response I am thinking and dreaming of a renaissance.
