as if to make up for lost time
Quiet time makes it possible
To put words together to write something
But not if you are upset or worried
Like I was for so many years
Quiet time is a luxury I have now
Being retired living an easy life
Undisturbed by any relationship drama
Except if my past troubles intrude
Awake at night considering my failings
Stuck in a bad situation withdrawn in my shell
Dismayed I stayed stubbornly holding on
Stuck in my sleepless ruminations
Back then I was unable to express myself
Blocked with unresolved conflicted feelings
But now the lines of verse often flow easily
As if to make up for lost time
For now I am not alone with my thoughts
Having a loving partner to assure me
I am the person they want to be with
Still happy after these many years.
