"DON'T YOU REMEMBER"

Can we talk as we walk in the cool

of the evening?

How was your day?

Let me share your good times,

let me share your troubled mind.

You are not the same as yesterday,

your smile has faded.

Your positive energy seems to be ebbing.

Don't withdraw from me,

we are one.

We are dedicated to the wholeness of each other.

DON'T YOU REMEMBER

I am your other self,

spirit entwined by promises made

as we stood before the alter.

Let me laugh with you,

let me cry with you.

My sole purpose of existence is to complete you.

DON'T YOU REMEMBER

Let me share your anger,

your happiness,

your disappointments and achievements.

Let me share your dreams

your aspirations,

the deepest desires of your heart.

DON'T YOU REMEMBER

We use to walk and talk,

holding hands, just looking

into each others eyes.

We talked about, romance, finance, past,

present and future and how we were going

to arrange the house, the joy of planting

our first flowers, our first garden

and having our first child.

DON'T YOU REMEMBER

It was so easy then, being young, just

beginning, but how we have growned.

We are older now, we have the house,

garden, flowers friends and enemies.

That first child has growned into a fine

young man, with a life of his own.

We are again back at the beginning,

just the two of us to walk and talk in

the cool of the evening.

DON'T YOU REMEMBER
