Reaching Back
Now I reach back into the past
to my first love
but not my last.
I hear his voice still in my brain.
So many fragments of the past remain.
I see the one I loved so true
on the highway in my rearview.
I'm on vacation,
a getaway,
from the sorrows of today.
We laughed and cried so much back then.
We shared smiles.
We kissed and lingered for a while.
He kissed my hand and looked into my eyes.
I felt his heartbeat.
He heard my sighs.
We were so young then and free.
He was himself and I was me.
