This is incredibly touching! I can picture the scene and the emotions flowing in my heart and mind. Short, with great impact! I so love this, thanks! :)
You set the stage amazingly in the first stanza and the second one is a work of art all by itself!

sometimes the past leaves us with a coldness, but within there is a warmth that lives on in our memories. a beautiful write of the past and where love takes us
Though brief, this is about as well written a poem as can be, Laurie. Your phrasing is exquisite in every line and your very well chosen words are tremendously effective in conveying your thoughts and emotions. There are few poets on any of these internet poetry sites whose poems are as eloquent and wonderfully written as your poems are. You are an exceptionally gifted poet. Carl.
