The Golden Years

I remember
when it was different
between
you and I
as you were you
and I
was simply me

I remember
when
our kisses were awkward
like two strangers
searching for a way
to make it feel real

Funny how time
slows down
as life passes us by
from the freedom
of
you and I
to living life as
you and I
to the challenges
of a family
to holding our first
then second and third grandchild

I remember
never wanting this
to now
never imagining I could
live without us
it is love
it is life
it is the best of
you and I
and these are
the golden years
