I would write our love out
Like a romance novel
Then leave the end blank
Let the reader flip and flip
To the last page
Where in ink and in tears
I have
"Gone in the wind"
"Gone like the wind"

Can I digress and say
The breeze in early October
Tastes like buds of maple
Bark crunching underfoot
Rustling of a canvas
Gold dipping into maroon
You held me close
And whispered lies
But my God that day was beautiful
Your lips were on someone else
But my heart was with you
My sleeves aren't long enough
To hide it

I don't think about us
I haven't since the truth
Slipped between the bodies
On the dance floor
I haven't since the rhythm
Took my tears
I see your face every now and then
The only thing I fear
Is myself
