I wish!!!

no longer young
no longer those days
no longer
long wishes

Over drink
in a tavern
we'd laugh
and

Yes.........

those were the days
and some of those days
belonged to us.

Fantastic, Tallen! The longing is palpable. Loved that last little stanza! Hit me in the heart.
Great job.

Stanzas 1 and 2 are now and then; stanza 3 is then alone. Sounds like the "good old days" carry the greater sway, as they always do. This is a tight eclipse between the two eras, Tallen. Effective.
