that once sweet place

take me back to that once sweet place
our first kiss and tight embrace
to those lyrics and loving refrains
to the music of the love song sang
to those dreams of yesterday

take me back to that very first time
where feelings escalate and like ivy climbs
higher and hotter those flames that grew
leaving embers to be refueled
acquiesced passion for me and for you

take me back to when love was new
when all that we ever wanted to do
was discover the hidden treasures
the secrets and the pleasures
of what it could be like together

take me back to our start
