Looking Back

It wasn’t all that long ago, 
And not so far away, 
That “Once upon a…” storyline
Danced free across our dreams, 
And “Happ’ly ever after” seemed 
A possibility 
As real as any everyday 
And not just some grand scheme.

We look back 
And maybe smile 
And sometimes laugh out loud,
A salty sense of bittersweet 
Left resting on the tongue. 
Nostalgic for the memory, 
Longing for the touch, 
Savoring each sultry note of 
A familiar song.

Days slip by as we reflect 
On things that used to be. 
Sweetest truffle in the box… 
Revive my memory.
