Living here in separation
keeps our hearts on tainted sleeves
a critical visible situation
oh who is this talking to me.

Well the years are quickly burning
and our love has willed to die
and the heartaches that we're earning
will take the future from our eyes.

So let's fall in love again,
let's fall in love like we did back when,
let's find the same love that made us friends.

Well there's grey in your auburn hair
and the crow's feet crowd your eyes
but the beauty there that we shared
is in the feelings we're trying to hide.

Let's fall in love again,
let's fall in love from beginning to end
let's make the same love that made us friends.

There's everything we need to know
about how to make old new love grow,
where we kept our hopes and blessings
so we know there'll be no guessing.
Something there must have been right
back where we found true delight.

Let's fall in love again
the way we did when we we're making plans
let's find the same love that made us friends.

Let's fall in love again!

   I like the lines "in separation keeps our hearts on tainted sleeves a critical visible situation" this is good. Keep it going and don't get down my friend.

To write of feelings that touch all hearts in some manner is my delight.

ETHome~
What a tender little piece of writing from your heart -

'Let's fall in love again,
let's fall in love from beginning to end
let's make the same love that made us friends.'


I LOVE IT !  Honestly, I do !

Ethome* This is sensational...I think most
couples that have grown apart and lost the
friendship that started them would love to
be able to recapture that feeling. Beautiful
thoughts and excellent weaving~

I do so love when you pen a love song ...
your rhymes rock ...can I be your groupie ...
I play a mean tambourine  
I'll bring butterfly and serenity and we'll be your back up singers LOL

"but the beauty there that we shared

Thanks Lucky for taking the time to read this poem as a result of your comments I have to say that this is not affecting me personally, but thanks for the encouraging words anyway.

PoertyNest I'm very glad to hear from you and I'll be visiting you as soon as possible.

Thank you so much Marsha for the wonderful comments I wish the whole world had your heart and enthusiasm.

Good to hear from you as always Marge and I'm glad you dropped in for the read thanks for the kind words...ethome

Butterflies it really is true that people grow apart but I think they become very complacent with each other and that takes the spirit out of the relationship....thanks for your kind words.....ethome

Thank you James I really appreciate your taking the time to stop and read...take care ......ethome.....

Janet you character you...of course you can bring the tambourine and Serenity and Butterflies....but you can't leave out Martie she is an important part of the harmonic blend......Thank you so much for the comments Janet ....you are so kind and full of life I always love to hear from you...thanks again..
OH BY THE WAY....how does...Eric and The Gum Drops sound for the name of our group...naw too commercial...how about...ET and The Blue Moons....help me come up with something here!

Thank you interloper I did'nt mean to bring up bad thoughts it's just the way it came out on the page....thanks for reading...ethome

Victoria I surely do appreciate your kind words here...thanks so much.

Thanks Amy for liking that line I really do appreciate it so much...more than you can ever know....thanks again...ethome

Martie I think that's because I write these poems while in a musical mindset and also being my greatest love it comes to me that way.....also you're definitely going to be one of the back up singers in the group... looking for a good group name got any ideas??????

ethome, you know I had these same feelings and tried as I might, it takes two to do this

Well there's grey in your auburn hair
and the crow's feet crowd your eyes
but the beauty there that we shared
is in the feelings we're trying to hide.


and I  think this is just beautiful..and only wished, it had worked for me.
Thank you for knowing the feelings.

Ethome,
This is very well done. I hope you have been able to recover that love, if not keep trying, never give up.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
