Back When We Were Younger

Back When We Were Younger

A Poem by KATHY SUE SILLS
"

Rekindle a flame of love.

"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Years has passed since we married

Our love used to be a burning flame

Now it is cool like a cold winters rain

I want to feel that burning flame again

 

Chorus

 

We are older, but not old

Plenty of years left to live

Our flame is smaller

Let us feed the fire

Make it burn like it once did

Back when we were younger

 

I want to find a garden

Arrayed with beautiful flowers

Make a bed of petals

Lay you down

Make love until our bodies are heated

Wrapped in the fragrant scent

Like we did back when we were younger

 

Chorus

 

We are older, but not old

Plenty of years left to live

Our flame is smaller

Let us feed the fire

Make it burn like it once did

Back when we were younger

 

Stars blanket the sky

Warm summer breeze

Let the top down on our old convertible

Ride around town

Neck in the back seat

Like we did back when we were younger

 

Chorus

 

We are older, but not old

Plenty of years left to live

Our flame is smaller

Let us feed the fire

Make it burn like it once did

Back when we were younger

 

Go out to the movies

Make it the late show

Sit on the very back row

Share a coke and popcorn

Make out until the lights come on

Like we did back when we were younger

 

Chorus

 

We are older, but not old

Plenty of years left to live

Our flame is smaller

Let us feed the fire

Make it burn like it once did

Back when we were younger

 

Forty years down the road

We are older, but not dead

Let us feed that flame

See how hot we can get

 

Chorus

 

We are older, but not old

Plenty of years left to live

Our flame is smaller

Let us feed the fire

Make it burn like it once did

Back when we were younger
