Memories of a failed love
Contending on his mind
He was not about to back-track
A bad experience best forgotten

He loved the company of ladies
And long for their presence
Their perfect upkeep and frailty
Their sweet caresses and humour

What he wouldn't give for 
the resurgence of youth
The succulent exchange of ideas
The elegance that both enjoyed!
Never a dull moment

  3. Some memories are best left forgotten as they can be painful. Especially with matters of the heart/love.

  4. And so we swap the excitement of youth for the more peaceful mind of the older!
