we were young together

in one moment we laughed in the french quarter--we always seemed to be 

descending stairs in slow motion
we felt fabulous
time seemed to be moving in slow motion as we tossed our hair and laughed
screamed
cried
made love on the floor in your den
and fucked in my crooked bed
you loved me and I hurt you
you hurt me and I loved you still
our skin was so smooth, i never even thought about it
time seemed to be moving in such slow motion
i never thought we'd age and grow old
now i stand here looking up at the mountain before me and i remember your effusive passion through the piercing sunlight...i squint...i remember mine...

we were young together
