I reminisce of the days when love was more
than a fad or popular trend…
When shows like “The Love Boat” and
“The Newly Wed Game” were still in…
When a mate was defined as more than
a sexual partner but also your true friend…
How I wish we could bring those days back again…
And I would…be remiss…
if I should ever forget the days when
February 14th meant more than,
cupid, cards or a candy coated kiss…
Instead, it was a time when just a
hand written Love Note from the object
of your affection brought such heavenly bliss…
And the time between going home from school
on Friday and returning Monday morning
was spent thinking of the girl or boy from class
the whole weekend your heart would heavily miss…
I still recall the innocent purity of young love
that quickly put you on cloud 9
by just the sound of his or her name…
And the inexplicable joy that came…
from finding out the one you liked,
liked you too by playing the “Truth or Dare” game…
The idea of such genuine expressions of love
now being only remnants of the past is such a shame…
Oh how I miss the days when urban radio stations…
all across the nation…
played songs promoting love
like, “Let’s stay together” by Al Green and,
“Distant Lover” by Marvin Gaye…
Anita Baker had “Sweet Love” and,
Earth Wind & Fire made “Loves Holiday”…
What an awesome time to have been
a part of…a beautiful time to have lived in…
A simpler time than now it seemed to be,
‘cause love was truly honored, cherished,
and respected back then…
