Melody Of Love

by Nic39uy   Oct 29, 2015


Playing my favorite tune on the piano
Recalling past memories of how this
Song bought so many smiles
But out of all the smiles, yours truly stood out

People would request this song but
Sadly I would have to turn them down
Because this song was an exclusive song
Which could only be played for yours truly

Shortly after I noticed it missing from my playlist
Didn't understand why my fingers couldn't play the notes
For it seemed the music sheet had been stolen
Completely from my mind somehow

Shaking my head, trying to remember but nothing
I just had to move on and find a new song
Didn't take long for me to find a new melody
Though it didn't quite feel the same but it worked

Again the crowd would enjoy this new song
Seeing smiles appear once again
Happy seeing that everyone was enlightened
And having such a good time listening

After one of my usually session in the piano room
I heard a familiar tune that I recognize instantly
Peeking inside to see who was playing
A song that was long lost to my ears

It was rude of me entering without knocking
You kept playing but couldn't quite get the right notes
Then you spoke, "Don't just stand there, come and sit."
Surprised for I didn't realize you knew I was here.

You turned around and smiled,
I knew the moment you heard this song
You wouldn't be able to resist coming in
For this is your song after all.

Sitting down, I listened to her play
All the wrong keys, was she doing it on purpose?
For she was playing it so well just a second ago
Asking her, what happened, you were playing so well?

Grabbing my hand and placing them on the piano
"Play it for me and then I'll remember"
I can't, for I've forgotten this song
"Just play it" you insisted

Sighing...I recalled what she had played
I went off of that and before I knew it
My fingers were playing it so naturally
I realized she returned it to me

Opening my eyes, turning to her
I see her smile, a smile that I've forgotten
One that truly was on par of an Angel
And it hit me that it was she long ago

I'd thought you figure it out eventually
I don't understand though, why you forgot this song...
Perhaps for the same reason you find it prudent
To play this song while I was alone

I often wished that I had-
-Looking down, fidgeting your fingers-
"Wished what?" I asked
Wished that you would play this song again

You must be the thief that stole my song
Yes...I'm the one the stole it from you
So why return it to me now?
This I truly don't understand

I am returning what rightfully belongs to you
What good is to me now? For it isn't the same
Because a year from today was the first time I heard this song
A song that would make my life feel complete

At that very moment I had to steal it from you
And make your song mine and mines alone
But my attempts to replay this song, lead to failure
As it was missing something...it...it was you ...

Ironically you were also the same reason
For me to play this song, for it was dedicated to you
Your smile that was like no other for you
Had to be an angel, because your smile was so angelic

Realizing we were thinking alike all this time
I felt your hands entwining with mines
As we play the song, which you missed so much
Leaning against my shoulder, telling me of your crush

With the last note about to be played
I felt a wet yet gentle kiss placed on my cheek
Feeling the kiss with my fingers,
Turning towards you, another kissed was placed

Planted so gingerly against my lips
As you pulled away breaking that blissful moment
You stole a quintessence part of my soul
Leaving it craving for another kiss

Looking at you, star-struck
To think I'd fall in love by a single kiss
With the girl who stole my song
And masterfully entrapping my love

Immediately you collapsed without a notice
Not being able to play the last note
Trying to rush you to the hospital
But it was far to late; you died within my arms

Upon the funeral, I was last to see you
Approaching slowly, trying to contain the tears
I said my goodbye to you and before leaving
Placing the music sheet with you to keep

Couldn't play this song afterwards
For it bought so much tears in my eyes
But on the memorial of your death
I decided to play it for you once again

Playing the last note, a tear trickled down onto the key
Looking to my right, was the ghost of your spirit
Smiling at me as I played your melody
A melody of our love...
