My Heart’s Playlist of Songs

Accidental Poet



Memories of you Sharon

Never far from my mind

The distant past

I lovingly rewind

 

Since you went away

Often, I’m reminded of you

In love songs I hear

Relating my love so true

 

So many songs

I’ve now compiled a list

Totaling 289

Until the next song insists

 

So many times, I wanted to say

“I love you”

Then I learned you’d be leaving

And I knew I had to tell you

 

That’s when I left that letter

In your school locker

At risk, you might think of me

Some kind of stalker

 

For love to haunt a man

For more than fifty years

With the memory of your smile

And not even a hint of tears

 

Quite to the contrary

The smile you left with me

Fueling my inner fire

And my own smile to see

 

This playlist of songs

Playing within my heart

Every one for you Sharon

The love of my life, my sweetheart

    I would sing the 289 of them, but it would scare her away! lol.

      Those memories will never fade AP and that list of songs is so important in that memory.
      So many songs that I hear bring my Joyce back to me.
