smooth rhythm and soul
made me forget to know
about how i lost you.
the dance and the la di do's
helped me feel better
about the flowers i never got to buy
or the love that faded like a paint job.
it was our love, nonetheless.
now all i have is the music
that rings in my head.
the music we listened to
when we first met.
and sure you've had songs written about you,
you know how to draw, paint, and type.
i was a simple me,
but it was the cigarette burn you left
that made me see.
