Remember When
I want to remember you like this.
I want to remember us like this.
In the years ahead when you’ll be across the room
And I’ll barely rise from the bed,
I want to remember what it felt like
When we were giddy in love.
I want to remember the feeling of our hearts
With every chance we’d get
To smile and get lost in a lingering kiss.
I want to remember when our knees went weak
From your hands upon my face,
Our tender lips meeting
As if it were the first time.
And I want you to remind me,
Over and over again.

Thanks Tom, Graham, David, and Uilleam for the lovely comments. I hadn't realized the sadness in it but it's there in the reality of partners that grow old together. Maybe they’re afraid of drifting apart for various reasons, maybe it’ll be Alzheimer's or maybe they’re simply afraid of falling out of love.
