Poem Do You Remember© By Connie Hughes

Do You Remember©

Do you think of those days so long ago?

Sometimes unwelcomed they are, but the memories flow

They trickle down like rain

Filling my heart with laughter and pain

Do you ever want to run, but unsure where you’d go

Run away from the fire that burn’s through to the soul

Do you ever weep for what could have been?

Like the day we parted and called each other friend

In the quiet of the day do you ever feel me near?

Like how I feel you whispering in my ear

Do you remember the touch of my skin?

Do you ever want to go back to the way it was back then?

When days were long, and nights were walks along the beach

Before time marched on and removed you from my reach

Do you ever close your eyes and see my face?

Every line and curve do you want to trace

Do you ever want to dance to those familiar tunes?

See only me in a crowded room

Sip sweet wine in a quiet place

Like we did before this life became a race

Do you hear the clock ticking away the hours of youth?

Harsh words but merely the truth

Do you remember young love and heart break?

Such sweet sorrow and so hard to take

Didn’t we swear this love would never end?

And through it all, now I’m so glad I can call you friend.
