A Little of the Old  #115
November 10,  1998

Today I felt a little
of the old

The way we would play
children
but for a moment
up past our bedtime
giggling

My fists of
"This is not working"
softened
and your eyes of
"Does she still love me?"
returned
back to the way
you used to look at me
before seriousness
made your face
descend

It has been years
since I felt
a little of the old
love
that was kindled there
