Lighter shadows

When we first held hands

I was rather shy

We were so young

How time does fly

You met me at the bus stop

At the corner by the park

My worried mother said

Be home before dark

It was a summer’s day

So we had many hours,

to hold hands and kiss

and dance around the  flowers

We were in our sixteenth year

Life had just begun

Does everyone remember,

the very first one?

.

Over thirty years later

We are have much to tell

We have taken different paths

I know you did well

You wrote me a song

When I was sixteen

You have written many more

You accomplished your dream

How would it feel

If we held hands again

Dancing in the dark

Down the very same lane

Looking at our shadows

Beneath the street light

Then once again

We would kiss goodnight
