A Song For You: Or Is It Just Me

I love you in a place where there was no space or time

I've been so many places in my life and time

I've sung a lot of songs

I've made some bad rhymes

I've acted out my life in stages   

Is it so rare that when you think of them

A slow soothing chill runs down your spine

To my friends whose love for each other rose to the occasion 

You know who you are

The years spent together may seen like just yesterday 

Though the years turned to decades

For some of us those seconds and minutes were meant to be

Short but sweet 

Who can judge the heart whose memories linger

Did not fade nor disappear year after year

Alone by choice knowing good and  well

No one can take your place

So I listen

You taught me precious secrets 
Of a true love

You wanted nothing

You came out in front

When I was hiding

But now I'm so much better

I listen to the echo of those who think they know 

My " Wutherings Heights"

Consumed with passion 

Or my  "Back Street " pleadings of together again

Until then 

The Melody of love remains

And if my words don't come together

Listen to the melody

Cause my love is in there hiding
