young love

those sweet voice,
     soft laughs
   almost every night.

was it just me, you
     or both of us,
   missing each other 
    night after night.

but those were great.
     those were once
   the happiest.

look at you,
    those smiles
  you still wear them.


look at me,
    still smiling 
   and laughing hard.

look at us.
  yeah, we're still
      smiling 
  and laughing
   perhaps almost 
at the same moment.

apart yes.
    but happy as ever.
     loving yes, 
 probably 
    the same level.
 however, differently
and separately.

those sweet moments,
     the love - unconsumed. 

i hope they will not fade.
  for as i age 
some thoughts are
 beginning to skip.

how time flies.
 you were once
and will always be
   a sweet memory
of a young love.
