Then

A Poem by c.m.

Sometimes, you have to get things off your chest. And the things I can't say, I say in poetry. So here it is...

Do you remember when words were like drugs?

The way you got me high frightened and amazed me.

The craving I had to be near you euphoric and sweet

You were like sugary candy to my virgin tongue

I loved you then

Do you remember when words were like bandages?

A kiss on a scraped knee, a band-aid to stop the bleeding.

Rushing back outside to fall down once more

The prize was a kiss from heavenly lips.

I loved you then

Do you remember when words were like a kiss?

A peck on your lips as you pulled your head away

Hand placed on my cheek with a pained look in your eyes

Your thumb stopping my quivering lip

I loved you then

Will we remember when words are like new?

When we can laugh like hyenas and smile ear to ear

When distance will be no obstacle for the two of us,

The day you stand before me, wearing the smile I love.

I will love you then.

There was no vomiting here sweet...What I think about when I read this is the sadness of giving up the newness of a relationship, but the wonder the next step, and the next. Growth of a relationship is sad and wondrous at the same time....but being the hopeless romantic that I am, I miss that new car smell too.
