Days of Youth-Tritina Contest

As I sit on my peaceful porch, I sit and think,
about an old lover that I had in my youth.
How he often kissed me passionately.

I've never loved another so passionately.
It gives me such pleasure to just think,
of days long ago when I was a youth 

I wish I could somehow relive my youth,
to be free to love wild and passionately.
I'm reunited with my beloved I as I think,

I sit and think passionately about my youth.

As I understand (I always stick out my neck a little) you are now with your beloved one from your youth or have I mis-interpreted it? A longing prevails in this poem - a beautiful write Alexis. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
