I am much happier now we're together
Although I did not think me sad before.
But, as the turn from winter to fair weather
Redefines the cold that feels too sore,
I would not wish an encore presentation
Of what we felt and how we dealt with it,
Out of a sense of pure self-preservation
For it would hurt more than a little bit
To go back to those days. Let us remain
In now, and in the future that we share,
Remembering, of course, the pasts that wane,
But never wishing to return. I care
Too much about you now to go back then
And have to struggle to get back again.
