Remember?
Listening to that song that transported you back
to feelings long lost and never retrieved.
As you sway to the song
a sadness sits
because a song is never the person
never the breath on your back.
It is just notes strung like lights together.
The song lets go of your tears
like a sponge wrung out.
But it never brings back their skin
or their laugh as it grazes your chest and brings tears to your eyes.
You remember the song because it blends past and presence.
Bringing it close, while wiping it away.
