Heart of Steel

A Beautiful View (7/11/24)

I said I loved the aftertaste and smiled when you agreed with me

For one evening on a terrace

I'm standing in his shoes

"Look at that view," I say in words only you can understand

Wishing I'd be like him and take you by the hand

It's you

The most beautiful view

Clouds are overcast

I wish this could last

As it all rains down on me

I wish it wouldn't

I know it won't

Listen to the rain as this moment runs away

Photo collages of those so dear

Only I am temporary

The ring and the good luck charms

The anthem that haunts me

And well be a reminder from you

Standing in his shoes

With such a beautiful view

Promise arises in the distance

Arch of shining angels

Racing cars and recurring daydreams

Someone you love once told me

"I heard if you go through a rainbow, you should make a wish"

So I didn't

I would never

I wished to heal

I wished to remember

I loved the aftertaste

I loved your smile

The rain and its promise

It lasted for a while

It was the most beautiful

A beautiful view.
