how it felt back then

"Now we keep saying that we’re ok

But I don’t want to settle for good not great
I miss the way that it felt back then I wanna feel that way again

. . .

Oh so on fire, so in love
that look in your eyes that I miss so much

Remind me, baby remind me

I wanna feel that way
Yeah I wanna hold you close
Oh If you still love me
Don’t just assume I know"*

It was early January of this year when I first heard those lines.  It made me think of my partner and how our relationship started. I am thankful because after five years, and despite the distance, I still don’t have to be reminded of how it felt back then.
