like it was. always

warm days, out of the dark. treasure it. like it was. sunlight now, her smile. soft touch, the leaning on. talking, walking across rooms to be near. to be ever near, in every room. like it was. again. again, like then. children abound, but still looking. admiring, your hair looks beautiful today. you look pretty. honest, as if seeing for the first time, across a room. all of sudden, to notice. everything all once. days into nights. holding. to be held. to miss, the call in the middle of the day. like teenagers. in love all over again. to forget and remember. over again. like it was. always.
