A Familiar Song
A familiar song comes on.
One we both have heard before
Somewhere.
What was once gentle conversation
is silenced as we are pulled worlds
apart by our own secret memories.
I look to you,
to see if you have noticed.
Only to find you staring
into some other place and time.
And so for a treasured moment
I fall into mine again.
I want to ask you,
but then I don't want to know.
For the song will be over soon,
too soon.
So my mind leisurely follows,
glancing up from time to time.
Afraid that if you look up
you will see to much..
