I Remember
Remember when our love
Was so thoughtful and so kind?
Remember how you made me laugh?
Now I see how love is blind
Remember all the power you held,
with one embrace and passionate kiss?
Remember all the endless laughter
And the sweet essence of reminisce?
Remember the passion and caring
Over the simplest things in life?
Remember the moment you asked me,
To be your faithful wife?
Remember the how much you loved me,
And showed me with actions instead of words?
Remember our zealous display of affection?
The idea of it now seems to be so absurd
Remember how considerate we once were,
A very long time ago?
Remember the tone of our voices?
Soft and gentle without a despicable show
Remember when you said I do,
For now and all of eternity?
Remember we vowed to love each other,
To which both of us agreed?
Remember the many tears we shared
Over the many losses in our lives?
Remember you told me nothing would change?
Now we’re struggling for “this” to survive
I remember………
