Shard#8: do you wanna be in love

Do you wanna be in love again
in love again with me
‘cos every time I look at you
I know what I want to be

Do you wanna be in love again
is it now the right time
we’ve been orbiting for so long
I’ll be yours and you be mine

Do you wanna be in love again
it’s you that I want most
the space between wears me down
I long to pull you close

Do you wanna be in love again
I know then I got it wrong
no doubt I’ll make mistakes again
but for us I’ll be strong

Do you wanna be in love again
all you need to do is say
we don’t ever have to look back
it could all start today

Do you wanna be in love again
while our family is young
we can fix the household
before the setting sun

Do you wanna be in love again
as summer comes from spring
can new life still bring forth new love
does all this mean anything

Do you wanna be in love again
in love again for life
four whole lifetimes we’ve lived through
yet here, you’re still my wife

“With 30 approaching last year I decided to start actually ‘publishing’ the scraps and shards of stuff I’ve been writing in pads rather than hoarding and picking over them for eternity. They’re not all fully formed but I think it will encourage me to be a bit more intentional about continuing if I have an audience (ain’t that always been the truth)”
