When Love Was Easy

A Poem

When Love was easy,

we sang in the car,

Loud and off key,

High on the warm July air.

-

When Love was easy,

Time was a book we did not read.

Old was not a word we used.

To be in love was to have no end.

-

When Love was easy,

We made love like sex was new.

Like a body held more than one soul.

Like to be held, was to have life.

-

When Love was easy,

We did not hurt.

We did not care if the car ran out of gas

And we did not tire of the same old song.

-

When Love was easy,

Our body did not ache,

We did not feel our age and

We did not mind that one day we will die

-

When Love was easy,

We'd last hour upon hour

Our skin did not part

And our lust did not grow cold

-

Now love is hard

And we don't sing,

We have aged

And sex does not feel the same as it once did

-

But when Love was easy,

Not a soul did love as hard as the two of us.
