April Showers

Seeing You Again

She walked in the door

Tentative

Scared

But she was welcomed by a swarm of friends

Asking questions

Catching up

Sit down, she thinks

Just watch the show

And she tried

God, she really did try

But when it came to you

No longer was she watching

You introduced yourself

And started to play

Just you and your guitar up on that stage

And she slipped back into memory

Eyes peeled but mind far away

She gazed upon you with passion

A lifetime of love pooled up in her eyes

But her mind slipped away

To places she should not go

She remembered when everything was good

And a tear came to her eye

As she watched you

So passionate

So gentle

Quiet but overflowing with the music you played

You struck your final chord

And she continued to stare

And though the crowd clapped

She could hear nothing

Because you looked her in the eye

Just a glimpse, nothing more

But it caught her

And suddenly she was lost in the depths of your eyes

Like nothing else existed

Not even her
