She said hello. He said hello.
The days they spent together
The nights they dined together
The ways they were perfect together
That song
That song that played the soundtrack
To her laughter, his smile, and their life.
That song that would signal love forever
But the days passed by
The laughter died away
And now that song
That song
Brings back memories of a time that was never meant to be.

He remembers

He passes through life
Laughter in his eyes
His joys are everyone’s joys
And his sorrows are all ours
But one day he lets down his guard
And from the corners of his mind
Hears that song play
That brings forth a smile to his lips.

The night

The gate, the lights,
The sparkly night
Resting on her shoulder
The blanket masks the cold
The quiet
The stillness of expectations
He asks
“Will you be okay?”
