I close my eyes and see her in all the wonder she was to me. A starlet of time past caught in a world that couldn’t see her for who she was. So beautiful so graceful so full of life in countless ways.
She loved teasing me with her pouty little mouth and flawless body that took my very breath away every time we touched. The world wasn’t ready for her with the clothes she wore and the way she did her hair. Some talked about her and her ways but she laughed it off and went on living the life she had dreamed about as a girl.
The small-town girl that made it big in a city that beckoned to her like the brightest star in the sky. She stood out there as well but this time as a woman who belonged in all the glitz and glamour, that was her dream come true. We lost each other to time and circumstance but I think of her every time I hear a particular song or see a movie we once watched so many years ago.
I will forever hear her voice and taste her lips as her memories shoot an arrow through my old and fading heart. There she is gliding across an empty ballroom laughing and singing reaching for me to join her and of course I do. The music will end soon but we will dance on to our music that knows no end.
