14. Was there ever

We are us with or without
The need for words spelling out
I can say or perhaps may not
Use some phrase I once forgot
A look of humour now will do
One sigh’s content says it anew
A thousand poet’s words
Better left unheard

Was there ever another love like ours?
Two others more in love than us?
Let us romance on and on
Singing love’s familiar song

What once chafed does now amuse
Close enquiries of our news
Let them pattern all around
Rain on roof's familiar sound
Refreshed relaxed within
Brush against your skin
Near and near again
Forgetting even when

Can there be more happiness than this?
To feel another’s gentle kiss?
Let us romance on and on
Singing love’s familiar song
