The 90's Romance

Love me like the 90s

Take me back to  black and white

Remind my ears of Truth

And the days it was precious as gold

Love me like the 90s

Where we stayed under almond trees

And built our castles in the sand

With dreams as furniture

Love me like the 90s

Where parents were aware of our secrets

And we never tiptoed or flew through windows

When our emotions were legal and endorsed

Love me like the 90s

Where our love was gospel

And our dancing eyes were the sermon

Where we wore smiles as garment

Love me like the 90s

Where our private parts were  private

Never saw our waistlines

We only knew us when ring fingers nodded

Love me like the 90s

Where pocket was basket

Sincerity was currency

And we never followed society’s commandments

Love me like the 90s

Not like the teens

Where true love is taboo

A sacrilege punishable by heartbreak
