Looking at you beside the pool
Takes me back to life without rules
Your body sleek and well defined
Calls out to me as if to remind
That we were young once and in love
While God watched us from above

Looking at you in your floral print suit
Reminds me why I think you’re cute
Ageless and agility you dare
To test the water with such flair
Strokes that defy nature’s gravity
Slice through the water with individuality

My thoughts take me back to long ago
When we swam the river to and fro
Childhood dreams yet realized
Of swimming together against the tide
Loving you defies all logic
But my reflections turn nostalgic

Water makes us young again
So take the plunge and learn to swim
Against the tide that beckons us further
To life’s mysteries of lovers forever
Looking at you beside the pool
Restores my faith and love for you
