Those Were The Days

Those Were The Days

Remember the time
you fell, and reminded me
of our space together
and our first
walks inside our
stormy house?
Yes, those were
the days when
love only began
the day
and not ended it.

Remember the time
we broke up
and the rain came every
year to
remind us of what
could have been?
Yes, those were
the days
inside glory that
passed our moment
to another.

Remember the time
you spoke in tongues
and I stood
by and smiled
because I knew you
were in search of
Him? Yes, those were the days
where our connection
was
firm and without the
frailties of war
or collateral damages.

See, I remember those
days simply
because they
linger inside our
souls, and without
you standing close,
I would find
myself with
no time to
mend those memories
and a second less
without you.
