They say at some point feelings die

They say at some point feelings die
relationships get old
and I have never questioned why
believed what I was told

so my expectations lessened
just waiting for the worst
but I know now this ancient wisdom
must take a refresher course

our time together has made me wise
with you I’ve grown so much
your face, your smile, your laughing eyes
your special look, your touch

and after living all these years
imagine feeling this
we’re so not past both love and tears
nor tenderness and bliss

and so darling till we next speak
my arms will hug that thought
it could be tomorrow or next week
we’ll work with what we’ve got
