Touch me like you used to With Fire and not of Ice Love me like you used to With passions sweet pure spice Hold me like you used to With no Fear of letting go Care for me like you used to Not holding back just so I’ll know Walk with me like you used to Our steps in time like beats of heart Talk with me like you used to With tales of us never to part Make love to me like you used to Not with body but of soul Live with me like you used to And make again feel whole Hold me for yesterday Kiss me for tomorrow But love me for today. |

I think everyone sort of goes through this stage in a relationship. I believe it is called "just going through the motions". We often fall into a pattern when you become to comfortable with someone. Hung in there....you'll get through it! Marina |

Ah -- sweet poem - so full of wishful thinking -----leaves the reader wondering is it totally gone, is there a chance to have it all back -- or is it completely over? netswan |

OH WELL... why dont we just hold up mirrors!! LOL you KNOW this one hits home with me. BEAUTIFUL poem SS... I feel your longing my dear... love you when your spicy  jm Is it too much to find an answer, Is it too much to hold you close. Is it too much to find a reason, Is it too much to free my soul -- From self control ... And I know you're always waiting for me ... You take me far away, And I know you're holding me ... And it's better now ... ~vertical horizon~ |

~Butterflies Well i am back from a week of not being here..had lots to do with graduation. And your poem is the first one i clicked on. This one was amazing with its depth of emotion and intensity. I could feel the longing in it as well. great piece of work! Amy ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

You've brought tears to my eyes Butterflies. I'm living this right now..although I do believe that hint of once was could be returning..it's still extremely painful. Beautiful, heartwrenching poetry. *Krista Knutson* "Lonliness is the human condition." *Mark Twain, in the book "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"* |
