Brenda Chiri Poet Rhyme

Like We Use To

Kiss me like you use to
Hold me like you still care
Pretend like we're brand new
Need to think your always there

Let's talk like when we first met
Touch me like way back when
Comfort me like when I'm upset
Remember how we were then

Pretend it's our very first date
Your kiss took away my breath
I refuse to think that it's too late
Our love has not met it's death

Just touch me like you once did
Tease me like you did before
It seems like we were just kids
As we swore love forever more

Joseph P. DiMino December 27, 2019 at 6:32 AM That's the secret, and the most difficult part, to remain as "just kids" amid the onslaught of years. In a good way, this poem made me feel young again and freshly alive. Great read! Brenda Chiri December 28, 2019 at 1:51 AM Joe thank you your too kind!;)

Gershon Wolf October 3, 2019 at 7:58 PM I was literally singing my way through this one. I really think you could set it to music. Neil Sedaka came to mind as the singer, among others. :) gw Brenda Chiri October 3, 2019 at 9:27 PM Gershon it's funny that you say that because every time I read it I sing it too! Dang I can't remember the name of the song I get the melody from! See still making me smile!;)

Janice Canerdy October 3, 2019 at 12:54 PM Brenda, this is so lovely and bittersweet! This could be the theme song of so many long-married couples! Janice Brenda Chiri October 3, 2019 at 1:01 PM Janice your right! Lol I had been working on this for awhile I finally had to put it down and I just found it again! Thank you !;)

John Gondolf October 3, 2019 at 7:35 AM Nicely written, Bren, this has a melancholy feel to it. It is hard trying to relight a spark after the embers have turned to ashes. All the best my dear friend. Hugs, John Brenda Chiri October 3, 2019 at 8:02 AM Thank so much John! Nice to see you commenting again!;)
