put on a favorite song and we dance one last time
a last wish granted 'tween the front of you and me
I worked way too hard at what I wanted us to be
a perfect day ends as the sun is sinkin' low
evening comes real gentle, like a kiss upon a brow
it all slips away, it came and went so fast
I wake from this dream that wasn't built to last
on the table by my bedside, a book of me and you
the pages loose from longing and all that came unglued
the final chapter written I close it one more time
pages filled with tears and a stain of sweet red wine
that day from long ago sealing what once started
pieces strewn from east to west but you stay in my heart
thunder crashed and lightning flashed in a desert sky
monsoon
rain won't wash away what I hold that's left from you

this is a lovely piece. I like how even with pieces scattered from east to west, you still hold that special someone in your heart.
