This Time

Now, the stars are out
Not so many when you were here
Now, the evenings are warm and breezy
It was cooler when you were near

This time, no agendas
No preordained problems
Unless you count the game
A challenge yes, but easy for you

Last time the challenge was hard
A dilemma that plagued you
It took up too much time
Before it went away

Let’s relax this time
Talk into the evening
Laugh and unwind, kick back
Nothing serious or critical

Let’s pretend we are kids
No problems or cares
No burdens or woes
Let’s eat pizza and dance

This time, read to me
This time, dance with me
This time, laugh with me
This time, be a kid with me
