Tear
A tear drips
and she sighs
A tear drips
and she remembers
She remembers
the day they met
She remembers
seeing him at her door
at night
She remembers
not knowing
what to think of him
She remembers
being afraid
to talk to him
She remembers
she wasn't herself
that night
She thinks
of the times together
before either spoke
the truth known by both
She thinks
of his poetry
and how she wished
it was about her
She thinks
of how he opened his heart
and told her the story
of his pain
She listens
to his music
to think of him
She listens
to "their" song
and starts crying again
She listens
and feels pain
instead of joy
because she cannot be near to him
She remembers
the moment they fell in love
She remembers
knowing of her love for him
and feeling his love for her
coming together
at the same time
She remembers
he played "their" song,
the song that was playing
when they felt the Magic,
in order to confess his love
She remembers
knowing what song he was about to play
and why
and how he started to say how he felt
and how she broke in with "I love you too."
She thinks
of eternity
She thinks
of the crescent moon
She thinks
of how they both knew
all along
of their destiny together
She thinks
of the creek
She thinks
of his eyes
She thinks
of sitting together
waiting for their ride
watching the moon
She thinks
of his touch
She thinks
of his embrace
She thinks
of him
She touches his picture
and feels
only the plastic
of the cover
A tear drips
and she sighs
A tear drips
and she remembers
A tear drips
and she thinks
A tear drips
and she listens
A tear drips
and she sighs
and she remembers
and she listens
and she thinks
of his love
of his embrace
A tear drips
and she thinks
of him.
