As Time Passes Us By
Was it only yesterday
when we ached to be together,
when we were in no doubt whether
we adored each other,
with every microscopic atom
we possessed?
Was it only yesterday
when we were both consumed
with voracious, nightly hunger
more suited to a younger
pair of lovers, locked in passion
newly born?
Was it only yesterday
when what we felt was still a mystery?
Has it all decayed to history,
or is it safe from passing trends,
deceptive dips and hidden bends,
in the road towards tomorrow?
A road that we will travel
side by side.
