Down on Nimrod Road

Now that run-down house is barely standing
Down on the dirt road just off the highway
But back then to us, it was our mansion
A place where the two of us would go play

Our innocence was never compromised
Our hearts were fulfilled and bursting with love
I satisfied your wants, desires, and needs
With all the things you were deserving of

From the very first time I touched your skin
I knew that I would never leave again
Nothing as good as that could be a sin
Because I knew I loved you way back then

Hey Jerry love how your poem beautifully captures the essence of nostalgic love, celebrating the simplicity of a shared past and the enduring nature of a connection that was established "way back then."
