Your image never fades from my minds eye …
It repeats like a scratch in an old 45
Burned into my memory with every sigh
_________
Your silhouette,
Your smile
Your awkward words made idealized
Your strong hands made calloused by holding your own heart to high
It repeats like a scratch in an old 45
Burned into my memory with every sigh
_________
Imperfections only enhance your strength and perception
You learned to walk on the broken shards that were once beating hearts
You have learned what words to avoid and what words to wash, rinse, and repeat
Because life is like that at times,
painful, short, and bittersweet
It repeats like a scratch in an old 45
Burned into my memory with every sigh
_________
I have wandered through that dream a million times
Your smile at my smile,
Your laugh at my laugh
That glimmer of connection in our meeting eyes
Maybe it was there, or maybe I just saw what I wanted to find
It repeats like a scratch in an old 45
Burned into my memory with every sigh
_________
I have become as familiar with your imperfections as I am with mine
Speculations
Inflections
Tried and true deflections
Too much introspection
Like someday you are going to ask me to tell you my side
Your not
No one ever listens to the B side
It repeats like a scratch in an old 45
Burned into my memory with every sigh
_________
As the Sun always follows the Moon, and the Moon always follows the Sun
The world keeps on spinning and spinning
I will hear that song forever …
If only in my minds eye

Maybe there is no ending and the meaning is in its repetition? Its speaks to me as it is, and happiness or sadness, like beauty is in the heart/eye of the beholder… You are a wordsmith of note!
