So, what's it going to be
This time
Just a release?
Just the way
The light bounced off
Her eyes ? or
the way her lips curled
or kept straight
The way she reminded you
of that someone?
Who reminded you
of that someone else
Or the words
The words are always
where you are found
Always
Always
Or was it just _?
Or something significant
Like the scent
of her scent
of her scent
or the pearls
she did not wear
she did not wear
Now love,
it does not make it right
if it was
something else
But at least I hope
It was something worth
....well something worthwhile
Like the way
Your name
rolled off her tongue
Like the way
Her eyes closed
When she sang
Only for you
Hope it was
Not another cliche
I just pray this time
Your reason
for being you
Your reason for her
Was something new
