In a long and involved conversation with myself

I saw precious things come into view

And I pored through the files taken off my mental shelf

And dusted off some memories of you

Then I thought about the time when our affair was green

How the phoenix of our love first flapped its silken wings

All the urgency and passion

Of each new day as it happened

And how it all mellowed as it grew

I remembered the times when our laughter would explode

And how you would turn to hide your smile

And the hours of silence while a perfumed candle glowed

And both our thoughts meandered on for miles

I remembered the times I said I really had to go

And I remembered the tears that filled your eyes

Then I touched your hand and told you

That it really was a lie

And though you never knew it dear

I cried

Well it's amazing how time can so softly change your ways

And make you look at things that can't be seen

And how the years that roll by can start you listening

Not just to what they say

But what they mean

So forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupied

And if the razor edge of youth-filled love is gone

But we're both a little older

Our relationship has grown

Not just in how it's shaped

But how its shown
