Older couple reestablishing communication in face of waning passion.

I would like to talk to you in a brand new way

For the old way is not working any more

We seem to understand each other less and less

The words we have always used have lost their meanings

Through the years we have grown closer in many way

In others there has been a distance ever growing

Why is that, you say only that we need to talk

But to me talk is all we seem to do, all talk and little action

That said though, it sounds to harsh, for no actions are really needed

But still, stated differently, words do seem to flow without effect

So that is why I propose that new language we would speak

And new topics too, for the things we need to know and say have changed

In our younger years we spoke much of love, and love’s techniques

There always was a banter going on, with erotic aura given many things

There was both talk and lots of action back when we were young

But at our present age both would be a danger to our health

The frequent sex we gave up gradually

Fine with me thought I would not exactly say good riddance  

The banter too, but with what have we replaced them both

We must find new words and ways to speak of that

Yes, how does one replace lost lives without communication

Clearly, we have much work to do

Today I see the weather is quite lovely

Come, take my hand, we will walk in the park and say what comes to mind
