Do you remember?

Have you already forgotten
The magic between us?
The feel of my hand in yours,
The way your eyes spoke to me
In a single glance

I’ve memorized your touch
Your taste
All stored in the album of my mind
Pages that will never fade

Can you recall the heat
Fire
Passion
That kept us burning the midnight oil?
When you’d wake me in the still of night
Just to make love to me once again?

Reminisce upon our memories
When the sunsets were always golden
And the rain never fell

Let your mind wander through the past
Back to the time
When you held me in your arms
And touched my face

Do you remember?
Because I know I’ll never forget

This is so sad, Tara. Sometimes people forget because they choose to. You have expressed your pain very well here.

Tara~
This just happens to be a lovely
romantic poem .. full to overflowing
with longing and sentimental thought.

'Let your mind wander through the past
Back to the time
When you held me in your arms
And touched my face

Do you remember?
Because I know I’ll never forget'

Those memories do hang in there !
Beautiful.

Suthern, I loved your poem.  I once longed for a married man and know the feelings  that you speak of.

Nan and Ruth, it's nice to be back!  I was gone way too long.

Elizabeth and Corazon, no pain here, just a gentle reminder at what we once shared (and hopefully will again).

Denise, Danny, Liz and Marge, thank you for commenting.
