Remember Me

Life through all ages with the person you love the most.

We used to swing from seas of green
Up to lands above the sky
Do you remember?
We used to play as kings and queens
Upon our horses all too high
Do you remember?
We stayed closed as kids and teens
Shared every secret and lie
Do you remember?
We gave our first kiss at fifteen
And lay awake all night
Do you remember?
We packed for Uni at eighteen
Swore that we would not cry
Do you remember?
We smiled for our wedding screen
And the birth of our first child
Do you remember?
We aged, but faced life just as keen
Together as close allies
I barely remember
We spent no time on machines
Afraid to miss a single sight
All I remember
I'm happiest and filled with glee
Whenever I can see your eyes

Author's Note

Saw an elderly couple acting very much in love over some of their old photos and memories, and felt the need to write it down :)

I absolutely adore this piece. I instantly formed a mental picture of the life cycle of two people who finish each other's sentences and can say a thousand words with a mere glance. It's sad that some comforts, some experiences are forgotten with age. Yet the warmth of a familiar touch can unearth a lifetime of forgotten youth. Bravo my sweet..Bravo!!
