After we talked, my mind balked

Yet I walked out into the early night.

Everything was alright

I could see the light shining softly.

Thinking lofty thoughts,

I went out and got coffee.

 

At the computer, I still heard her.

just a murmer in my heart.

Something started; and we never parted -

Can never, really, once I felt the fire go thru me.

 

Now to wrest from the struggle

Just one more chance to snuggle -

Just a tug will remove my cape,

Maybe they'll jape at the tape

 

On my glasses, or I’ll fall on my ass as

I try to leap into the air.

 

No fair, they'll cry. We knew the lie

So we just didn't try - wouldn't buy it -

Or tie-dye it, girl & guy it

We had a good cry, a silent sigh and

 

Wrote it off. Scoffing loudly

Walking proudly.

 

Now she's gone. We broke the bong,

Wrote the song and then moved on.

 

I laugh & look, might write a book

About her - Now so high in the sky

And me not knowing why -

 

It starts, it ends. The road bends

We're friends. Time ends.

Love lends softness to the night.
