The Way It Used To Be

On these long lazy summer nights

With the moon at its peak

When the breeze caresses my brow

And the stars shimmer in the distance

I long for the way 

Things used to be

Memories of you 

Linger all over me

The touch of your fingers

And the taste of your lips

The strength of your arms 

And the thoughts of the way

Things used to be 

Those endless conversations 

And the smell of the fire 

The laughter shared 

And the secret smiles 

The feel of you 

Brushing past me... 

Oh how I wish 

For things to go back 

To the way they used to be...
