~do You Remember When.........? ~ Poem by Mary Nagy

~do You Remember When.........? ~



They sat hidden in the shadows
and talked amongst themselves.
I doubt they would've noticed
if their servers had been elves.

He was entangled in her beauty
and the things that she would say.
There were moments interrupted
but he never looked away.

The waiter took their orders
and he served them both their meals.
I couldn't help but envy them...
''I remember how that feels...''

To feel the world is spinning
just for the both of you.
Everything's exciting
and there's nothing you won't do.

If only we could bottle
all the passion of those years
to use when it is needed most
to help wash off the tears.

Sometimes it seems impossible
to feel as we did then.
Perhaps we can go back there.
Do you ''Remember when...''?

Mary I think I have been cold of heart recently and now I know why. It is a symptom of Mary Nagy Poem Withdrawl. As per usual Mary you take a magic moment and enhance it even more. This is a lovely piece. I really can not say anything else.
