Do You Ever Look Back on Those Days

Do you remember
way back ..
 When you asked me
what you
might wear, and I said
with a grin ..
Maybe something
quite loose
like a dress, perhaps ..
Ha .. even
back then, I just knew
I should have
said something else ..
Still, I must
now confess my friend ..
Every now
and again, I do wonder
if you knew
what I had on my mind
back then ..
Hey and don’t you forget,
before I forget
that is ..
Did you really put a drop of
my all-time
favourite, by Je-Riviens
here and there ..
Or may that have just been
your own idea
in the first place, perhaps ..
But do it again,
just for old times’ sake ..
And wow,
come  to think of it, how
did we ever,
manage to cram so much
into one day ..
Oh’ and likewise, do you
remember
those coffee’s we shared
in that old
Toby Inn off the A309 ..
Back then
I imagine, we could have
just talked
the entire night away ..
For now tho’
do you ever recall that
quaint little
restaurant, the one before
the lights,
on Old Station Road ..
Well maybe
not quaint, but surely
more quirky..
The one, where I bought you
your lunch that day
and while on the subject
do you ever
think back to my black
Alfa Romeo
and those cute leather
seats it had ..
Well I guess you may never
now know
what games sprang to mind
at the time tho’
I thought you imagined
them too ..
But that was a long time ago
and you are
now well and truly, forgiven ..
For jumping
to hasty conclusions and
listening to
the gossip and rantings
of an old
jealous woman, who once
lived on a
mountain and is no longer
with us ..
But still I wonder, do you
ever look back
on those days, and smile inwards ..
