To See You Again

 

Far too long it’s been

Since I last saw you

Just teenagers were we

And still my heart is true

 

After fifty years I miss you more than ever

Love compounding day by day

And I never expected you to love me

No holding back what my heart needs to say

 

Sharon, I long to see your smiling face

Your laughter grow from grin to giggle

And from your nose you try to hide

A scrunched up silly wiggle

 

To stand beside you

And stroll down memory lane

To relive our history together

And hear you say my name

 

The look on your face, an emotional reaction

To the final scene of a romantic love story

Of pride on your face

From knowing you’re still my glory

 

I ‘d wrap my arms around you

Share a reassuring hug

Arms ever tighter

Revealing from my heart your magnetic tug

 

If the angel of love

Could make a miracle deal

With the keeper of misplaced hearts

To bring you and I together for real
