Those Days
You were twenty
You were so pretty
I think I was thirty five
Minutes late
You were so angry
You still looked so pretty
I said sorry
I'd made you wait
All that night we made love
Making love was enough
In those days
There was a taxi
Somewhere in Picadilly
Things kinda got silly
Driver kicked us out
We didn't get angry
Thought we were in a movie
Something French maybe
Letting it all hang out
Never ever knew your name
Never seemed to mind the rain
In those days
Now I'm a little older
A little bit colder
Digging through a folder
Of my memories
I found a number
Thought I'd lost forever
Thought maybe I'd try it
I just had to see
At the end of the line was a man
I couldn't make him understand
About those days

| Interesting, as you walk the reader through a lofty night of sweet youth, and as you age, the lack of spontanious is clear. The fact you tried to get that back, calling a phone number from years passed, and talking to probably her husband by then, shows just how much everyone changes. A down to earth story and sad. Aging is life. I guess your story shows we should not regret. |

| Nicely told. Memories are very special but as is shown at the end of your poem, they can't be relived. Enjoyed this very much. |
