remember when we
loved so easily
talked so endlessly
walked hand in
hand turning to
drink each other
in with hungry
glances new found
love so forgiving
blind and optimistic
to each others
foibles and faults
now grown used
to and argued
against opinions strongly
voiced even unasked
for harsh words
spoken in haste
ambiguous meanings misconstrued
chances lost to
recover good grace
love and hate
such fine lines
betwix us two
can we rise
like white winged
doves to bill
and coo and
our love become
eternally young again

The truth is,
You brought me up when I was down.
You’ve always put a smile
on my face,in place of a frown;
and when frustration overcame me,
you were there to see me through.
You don’t have to say it. . .
I already know You love me too,
and the rest. . .the rest can be overcome.

I remember hiding how I felt because if it showed I would be wounded fatally.... LOL!  This was a pleasure to read.  Someone close to me once indicated that we come to take those we love for granted too much.  She said we should, at the very least, show them in our daily lives the coutesy we would bestow upon a stranger.  I have no doubt that love can renew itself with vigor when the caring is there...
