Innamorare
I remember you glorious in those days
In your prime reeking of subtle strength
My heart quickens at thoughts of us back then
Inwardly I smile about the way we laughed
And how we talked and played and loved
I was ecstatic just to be half of what was us
For I was glorious too in those sweet days
And no prouder of you than you were of me
Back when being bound had set us free
I wound the threads of us through my soul
Hid memories deeply in my heart and mind
So what we were would never escape me
And I could keep us here deep and safe inside
So now though many years have passed
I still hold the memories of how it was
In those crazy manic and daring young days
Beloved time when you and I were simply we
But then moon and stars shifted as they do
Though we held on with longing and in pain
So long as strength and wisdom would allow
