Do You Remember?

Do you remember how love felt?

Does love recall touching you?

Can you offer peace to my puzzled soul

And tell me are memories still true?

Or are they like the sky

Elusive, and ever changing back to blue?

Do you remember the places we walked

Before we both walked away?

Now I’m not suggesting

I want to exchange rings with yesterday

Though it would sure be sweet

If now and then it came back to play

Sometimes I think if I closed my eyes

I would once again be certain to find you.

I bet if happiness danced into my life

It would fit perfectly in your size shoe

As it did when we waltzed before, where the footprints 

of each step remain as constant as crazy glue

You quieted my city mind

hushed the noise like a strong, swift country breeze

and left me calm, and open to be taken everywhere

surrounded with contentment, and green October trees

bracing for the Fall.

Your love was my heart’s sentry, I felt so safe and so at ease

Do you remember?

I hope I never do

Because I can’t ever recall

All that I’ve never forgotten…
