Lover

Hey there lover

I was thinking of you

today

and yesterday

and tomorrow

Remember the first time

how we promised

it wouldn't be forgotten

but then it was

and now it is

Who can remember that first sensation

that first moment

when we knew

life would never be the same again

because now it was different

ever changing

and yet always would be the same

day in

day out

sun up

sun down

we wake

we sleep

and now we snore

old in body

young at heart

tell the wrinkles

and the muscle aches

all those dying cells forget

and all the new ones don't remember

but somehow in my heart
you are forever imbedded

like a handprint

hardened in the cement

dated 1961

every indent can still be traced

and so I will never forget you
