Out of the Past

Life seemed like it was over,
I sat rocking in my chair,
Until that happy moment,
Of a sudden you were there.
You came out of my past
With my future in your heart;
Now we two “Senior Citizens”
Are off to a great start.
I never dreamed I still could feel
Such passion and such joy—
Together we are not old folks,
But once again a “girl” and “boy.”
Another time around for us!
What joy, what perfect bliss—
Come on, pucker up my dear,
I need another kiss.
