A Cadence Of Sorts


And for the thoughts 
we failed to mention 
and for each word 
that found us best. 
For the heart 
that beats for you, 
resounding loud 
and through my chest. 
Here's the moment. 
There's the light. 
One last kiss 
goodbye tonight. 
"My love it's all we knew..."
so here's to you. 
Here's to the walk
the beach, the candlelight. 
The way your hair was blowing 
in the coastal wind. 
Here's to the long drive 
home and the radio, 
to all our favorite songs 
and how we sang along 
I knew that it was. 
Can you remember 
the look in my eyes?
The day was left 
and night was ours. 
Letting go was all 
we knew though stay 
close (so close) 
turning in at 
five past two. 
And for that day 
I'd pen in song words 
of faith and trust alone. 
Letting go means holding
to though stay close (so close) 
fading lines prove wasted youth. 
I will never underestimate 
the way you move, 
the way you caught my eye 
and kept me thinking, 
stole my heart 
yet kept it beating. 
And even though 
I'm flawed 
"clever only counts if you don't get caught".
