‘
A slow strange lilting tune
caressing the cheek with its warmth
notes like raindrops and quick tears
strains like rivers and breaths
echoing
swelling
a flood of feeling and memory
so sweet, loving, and sad
All the while my heart cries, aching
I’m dreaming, love.
I remember you
and that jazzy shade of blue your kiss
turned the whole world
but as quickly as the song began
it ends
and I forget
the song fading, I say to no one
So brief, my love?
Wait
Just like that
Sing for me
Please?
