You steal my heart
With your smile and dimples
Distracting me to what
You leave unsaid

You invade my space
As you lay next to me
Sleeping in my bed
As I tumble headlong

Into what I swore
I didn't want
A quick fix for
A day or two

Happiness in a box
Made in an instant
Devoured so quickly
I almost choke

On what I tried
To hold on to
I grasp blindly
As it slips through

And like a thief
In the night you go
Stealing special moments
Of this tarnished life

So again we proceed
A couple times a week
Is all the happiness
We can manage

Stringing along
One another
A part-time love
Recorded in days

Time continues on
As photos mark our
Lack of progress
Aging us both

Love growing old
But not growing up
No longer new
To either of us

Don't know how I let this one slip by.

Pam this is one I really like. I can relate to so much of this as I'm sure many can.

Nicely done.
