Analysis of A time



I remember a time when we couldn’t keep our hands off each other.
I remember a time when we couldn’t sleep without one another.
I remember a time when we’d laugh so much.
I remember a time we dropped everything at the touch.
I remember a time we loved to tease.
I remember a time we tried to please.
I remember a time we faced nothing alone.
I remember a time we tried to make a home.
I remember a time our love was so strong.
I don’t remember the time when everything went wrong.
