Do you remember our first date
And our first kiss?
When the bus jolted
My cheek smacked your lips
Your nose stabbed my eye
And so we broke the ice
Do you remember the days
Filled with laughter?
Our hearts free and happy
Many afternoons
Of tea and crumpet
The ice melted
Do you remember the dream we had
And realised?
We had frowned forever
Now smiles of joy
Imprint our lives
Melted ice, now a pool of hot water
Do you remember we loved
In defiance?
Snarled at the world
Affronted by the rules
Bewildered by the sun
Pool of hot water sizzles to steam
And now we’re so far gone
No backward glance
Like a helium balloon
You go up
I go up
The steam rises.
