The thunder claps did not
bother, the pouring rain
could not dampen
our spirits as we
frolicked on our
first weekend as newlyweds
we’ve come here
before with
the children and didn’t
we tear our hair
pandering to their
every need
now it’s different
we’re different
the mirror speaks
longer to each of us
than we do with
each other
there’s love yet
it’s not the same
why
Your line ♡the mirror speaks longer to each of us… that gave me pause. I sense deep emotion and regret. It’s telling in that you end with a question. Excellent work!!
