Nostalgic Recollection


I heard a song today and I immediately thought of you. 
I closed my eyes and I swear I was there again. 
I'd heard this song for the first time that day. 
What a beautiful song. 
I remember listening to the words and how beautifully 
The music made them come to life... 
Life, such a curious thing. 
The music made the words come to life for me that day 
While cancer finally took life from you. 
I heard a song today and I immediately thought of you. 
I closed my eyes and I swear... I don't ever want to go there again. 
Although, the song still captivates me now the way it did that day, 
The memory attached grieves me so that I never want to hear it again.
