Hiding in the Attic

Journals, diaries, and old love letters, 
recollections from a long ago me,
Pulled form dusty bins hidden in attics,
springing into life through fond memory.

Read through misty eyes, those words of passion, 
of desires, worries, joy, death, and sorrow,
Expressing our lust and undying love 
yearning to face what hides in tomorrow.

Our eagerness of youth knew no boundaries,
as we prepared for love’s journey to start.
Though our minds were innocent and naive,
you and I have forever shared one heart.

Dear Jerry, I thought to myself what a beautiful and nostalgic piece! I could see and feel the imagery of dusty old journals and love letters springing to life. I really think you perfectly captured the bittersweet feeling of revisiting past passions and innocence. I especially loved the line about sharing one heart despite naive minds. Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

It's frightening when you come across those momentos and you wonder where did the years go. Hope you're keeping well Jerry. Tom
