Do You Ever Look Back on Those Days

Do You Ever Look Back on Those Days

 

Do you remember

way back ..

When you asked me

what you

might wear, and I said

with a grin ..

Maybe something

quite loose

like a dress, perhaps ..

Ha .. even

back then, I just knew

I should have

said something else ..

Still, I must

now confess my friend ..

Every now

and again, I do wonder

if you knew

what I had on my mind

back then ..

Hey and don’t you forget,

before I forget

that is ..

Did you really put a drop of

my all-time

favourite, by Je-Riviens

here and there ..

Or may that have just been

your own idea

in the first place, perhaps ..

But do it again,

just for old times’ sake ..

And wow,

come  to think of it, how

did we ever,

manage to cram so much

into one day ..

Oh’ and likewise, do you

remember

those coffee’s we shared

in that old

Toby Inn off the A309 ..

Back then

I imagine, we could have

just talked

the entire night away ..

For now tho’

do you ever recall that

quaint little

restaurant, the one before

the lights,

on Old Station Road ..

Well maybe

not quaint, but surely

more quirky..

The one, where I bought you

your lunch that day

and while on the subject

do you ever

think back to my black

Alfa Romeo

and those cute leather

seats it had ..

Well I guess you may never

now know

what games sprang to mind

at the time tho’

I thought you imagined

them too ..

But that was a long time ago

and you are

now well and truly, forgiven ..

For jumping

to hasty conclusions and

listening to

the gossip and rantings

of an old

jealous woman, who once

lived on a

mountain and is no longer

with us ..

But still I wonder, do you

ever look back

on those days, and smile inwards ..
