In the unexpected silence
I lay wrapped up in your arms.
Remembering the times before when we would lay thus
Before life took away this simple charm.

We talked of simple pleasures and of good times we had had.
We laughed like new, young lovers,
Just enjoying our time alone.
No one bothered us for a few hours. It was me, you, and no phones.

Remember when our love was new and we would talk for hours?
It seemed like there was nothing we couldn’t say
And my feelings for you bloomed and flowered
Into the love we share today.

It takes a simple thing like the power outage of yesterday
To remind one of the simple things that brought us together anyway.
The talking into the early morning hours about any and everything,
The why I fell in love with you; it was because of those long hours.

Life gets so busy and so hectic for us all.
Those few precious hours I’ll remember for a while.
They brought back so many memories
Of the early days of love,

Our love was rebooted yesterday,
By a power failure of unknown cause.
A few hours spent wrapped in your arms.
Just talking with my love.
