Old Flames

Home for the holidays

just visiting

My old home

My life lives somewhere else now

But we come back to the same place for the special days

We drive around to our old spots

that new people have claimed

Living far from home is a different pain

But we return to the same place

And I see you

We come back to this place

the old ties we share

recindle old flames

the ones that had time to fade

But relighting a fire isn’t too hard when it wasn’t entirely out

joined together by one place

in one prayer

Our old love, only one of us shared

counting the days till we see each other again

because living far away gives the fire time to fade

Thankfully we have our old place
