Old Lovers

Time’s a thief it took our youth
Left us with an altered truth
Wrinkles tell our hidden stories
Ghosts of love and faded glories

Once we danced in moonlit fields
Promised hearts our fate was sealed
Now we sit in quiet shadow
Watching sunsets dying glow

Old lovers in a new disguise
Flicker flames in weary eyes
Old songs played on cracked guitars
Burning bright like falling stars

We got photos in a drawer
Memories that can’t restore
Laughing eyes and careless days
Tangled up in love’s sweet craze

Old lovers in a new disguise
Flicker flames in weary eyes
Old songs played on cracked guitars
Burning bright like falling stars

Seasons changed but here we stayed
Holding hands in twilight shade
Silent whispers in the night
Old lovers in the pale moonlight

Now we walk this winding trail
Weathered skin and shades of pale
Time may steal our breath away
But old love’s fire will never sway

Old lovers in a new disguise
Flicker flames in weary eyes
Old songs played on cracked guitars
Burning bright like falling stars
