just a little bit longer

just a little bit longer.

I miss being in love

so much fun

could have stayed

a little bit longer.

Now that I've moved

to being loved

it's oh so different

sometimes serious.

Ah Andrew, my favourite Aussie wordsmith.Hopefully your dearly beloved sheep is ageing better than the women up north.I have got an idea for a business venture that I think ,if developed and marketed properly in your neck of the woods, might well secure us a fortune.....a lingerie line and make up for sheep.....imagine it,a high wall in a secluded field,a pretty sheep,add a wee bit of mascara,lippy,and a baby doll negligee....what more could a man want.(Apart from a tinny and footie on the telly) Are you in ???

The difference is sweet but also numbing your feelings and mind at times. I like the topic you brought up.

thank you vanessa

The way to make love live forever is to fall in love...over and over and over.
That is the only journey that takes you both backwards and forwards at once.
Simple. So simple, so few words but so very much said.
Just excellent.

Thank you so much for your kind words Amy:)

I don't know why but it always makes me giggle when somebody tells me my words are kind. I suppose because I always say what I truly mean and sometimes...well, it might be less than kind, but not meant to cause hurt, of course.

I agree. Being in love. When every day is a wonderful day. Good thoughts and wishes in the poem. Thank you Andrew for sharing the excellent poetry.

thank you John, yes being in love was more silly, more laughter, all so new, exciting as being loved is more taking the journey together which is less dreamy, but you do set goals!

I need a dreamy woman who like to dance and sing. Like the old song. Those were the days my friend.

yes, it was fun back then to feel we were "in love"
but just loving someone seems to be more everlasting..."in love" so ephemeral...

I miss the dreamy state, where days, nights had no end, the newness, the silliness while being loved is the journey, that road, fun, serious, less silly, more responsibilities, less time and sometimes the end of the road!
