August and December

Folder: 
Kiss of Honey

I go back to August when we were so in love.  The world outside us did not exist.

The embraces were closer, the kisses breath taking and I go back to August.

In the beginning of our love, the start of it all falling into place.

 

When our words were positive.  When our actions were of love.

Phone calls.  Text messages.  Flowers and gifts.

Where did we wander apart?

 

I love you was said more.  Laughter was a constant sound.

Laughing so hard we would snort.  Breathless together.

So much in love back in August.  How did we lose us?

 

Now standing before the alter.  Everyone has eyes on us.

The lights down low.  The nerves up high.  We hold each other hands.

Back in August when love was young.  Now in December when our love is strong.

 

Kissing you as my wife.  Holding you even tighter.  Kissing you longer.

All the positive brought back.  We worked hard.  We worked together.

Man and wife.  Back in August, back in December and here now.

 

Our love cannot be tested.  Our love cannot be shook.

So close, a team of love in strength and growth.

We build dreams together.  We create life together.

 

Every time it starts to turn.  I remember August and December.

August when our love was young.  December when we became stronger.

In the present, I continue the strife to make sure we stay happy.

 

To keep the love young and strong.  I follow your lead.  You follow my lead.

Team McCarty now.  Within our love, the outside world doesn't exist.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Rewrote "Back to Love."  Well, pretty much deleted original poem but kept the feelings and thoughts to form something better (I hope).
