We were loves young dream such a long time ago, <br />A pretty young girl and her handsome beau. <br />Just out of our teens and our lives all before us, <br />Not a care in the world and so deeply in love. <br /> <br />Neither one knowing what paths would we take, <br />Neither one knowing the mistakes we would make. <br />Then it all fell apart and we went separate ways, <br />We made our mistakes, paid the price that you pay. <br /> <br />But that pretty young girl never quite left my mind, <br />She was deep in my soul and would come to my dreams. <br />Then 30 years on and we met once again, <br />We talked as before, like we’d never been gone. <br /> <br />Yes your face has changed, we are both older now, <br />But the girl I once loved had not changed at all. <br />The woman before me, was that pretty young girl, <br />With the twinkling eyes and gentle smile. <br /> <br />We hugged like old friends, and kissed cheek to cheek, <br />The years all rolled back, I could hardly speak. <br />I wanted to put my head on your shoulder, <br />Lose the pain that sometimes still smoulders. <br /> <br />I wanted so much to take you and hold you, <br />To kiss and caress you and gently enfold you. <br />As we said our goodbyes we both glanced around, <br />Our eyes met again like they had years before. <br /> <br />Whatever it was that once captured my heart, <br />Was woken again by just one stolen glance. <br />That pretty young girl who once cast her spell, <br />Bewitched me again full 30 years on.<br /><br />David Barlow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bewitched/
