I am witnessing
The ravages of time
In a loving relationship
That once was mine.
The scents that once enchanted us,
Have evaporated into the air.
The songs that once made us dance,
Have long lost their flair.
The tree that once saw us hold hands
Still remembers our beautiful story,
But lost is the charm we felt
Standing under its welcoming glory.
The unending walks we had,
With their lively conversations,
Have now ended up on the couch,
Full of our trepidations.
Oh! That once more we can bring back-
Those warm hugs on a wintry morning
The cozy cuddles in a lazy afternoon,
The ardent kisses behind the curtains,
And the caresses under the moon,
The lingering finger over our bodies,
The tingling tickles in- between,
The running of your fingers through my hair,
And us giggling like sweet sixteen.
Will time take away this love from us
Like so many before us have lost,
Will our hearts be barren and bare too,
Or can we still hope it will last?
