Never look back.

Never look back.

My darling, remember those days long ago,
when we both held hands, through the rain and snow?
How we cheerfully chatted and were full of "fresh" life.
How positive we were , in all of our strife.

We never looked back, we kept going on.
Even when it poured, the sun still shone!
Because we both had, such a precious thing.
Love for one another, it made our hearts sing!

Young lovers, we rode along on each new wave.
Faced up to our challenges, both tireless and brave.
But alas, the years have caught up on us.
Weak and old, we no longer make a fuss.

We sit by the fire and grumpily stare.
No longer hold hands, too tired to care...
Mumbling and grumbling at things on the Box,
Old and withered, battered by life's knocks.

Yet , I stare at you sitting close by.
Yes, we still have it, a twinkling in the eye!
