I Remember When

An original poem by none other.

I Remember When...

When sacrifice was a joy, your goal to make me smile.

When you were proud of me, loving me for me.

When work was just work, love was everything.

When your eyes adored me,  longing for my touch.

When I was your world,  nothing came between us.

When flowers,  laughter,  surprises,  dances,  jitters filled our life, 

   goosebumps emerged from your touch.

When you lifted me up, showed me off.

When you valued my opinion, memorized my every word.

When you comforted my heartache,  

   and others made me cry.

When I was yours, you were mine.

When I believed you,

When you said "I love you. "

I remember when...

Not so long ago.
