Those Were The Days Poem by Mary Nagy

I used to get the shivers
each time you would come near.
It used to be that just your voice
was all that I could hear.

I wish we could go back there.
When love was so brand new.
The only thing that mattered
was simply loving you.

You set my soul afire
with just a simple gaze.
I need to feel the flames again!
Oh God, those were the days!

We were so very young then.
We both just turned sixteen.
At the point of physical perfection.
We were both so young and lean.

So many years behind us.
Three kids, the stress and such.
Our lives are just so busy.
We rarely even touch.

We quickly kiss 'Hello there.'
'See ya later' or 'Goodnite'.
We rarely have the energy
to even have a fight.

We just need to rekindle
the fire that burns within.
I'm hoping you will see this
as a plea for us to win.
