Let Us...

Let’s pretend you and I are friends.
Let’s pretend to care how the other has been.

Let us have a pleasant conversation,
With perhaps a side of silly flirtation.

Let’s act like we never use to fight.
Let’s go to dinner one of these nights.

Let us act as though we’ve made a compromise,
To always be nice.

Let’s take a walk and hold hands.
Let’s go to the beach and maybe get a tan.

Let us be friends and watch the stars,
As we take a ride in what use to be our car.

Let’s be anything other than what we are…

Let us love.

Can that be so hard?

Good flow with a few lines here and there that threw it off a bit. Nice piece about reminiscing of a better time with a lover/significant other. Something we can all relate to. Call me a snob but I'm not usually a fan of rhyming poems, but I loved this. It's simple, playful, filled with hope and longing at the same time. Great read.

Thanks a lot AJ! And everyone has their preferences, no biggie :)

I don't know which is more beautiful, the picture or the poem, but the both of them together does each other so much justice. But I must admit, your poem limns more images. Beautiful!

To me this sounds like a love that has dwindled a bit but the spark is still very much there and these things you've mentioned set a perfect mood for rekindling. Very nice.
