They tingled in their teens
First attractions during Algebra
Mutual smiles nervously given
Cute and awkward discovering each other
Reassurance in their thirties
The time of restless wants
New lives induce fragility
Couch cuddling in between diaper changes
Firm in their fifties
They know that the other is nearby
Their fire is dim but, it still continues to burn
A comfort of history together connects them
Strong in their seventies
Their wrinkled touch still excites
Alone time now is more precious than ever
A silent love that has kept them young
