I seek to own and never rent
Loving another is time wisely spent
Not on temporary relations that next month could take away
But as an investment growing richer  each passing day

Come to me and stay a while
     Let's share a drink or two
Sit back relax enjoy yourself
   That's all you need to do

Go ahead and take a nap
     I'll wake you in a few
With a meal prepared for you and I
     And a table set for two

I want to make you happy
     For more than just a day
And show you that I love you
     In every possible way

What I'm really trying to say
     Is I want to make you mine
If only for a little while
     Like maybe just a lifetime.

He could hear her heart singing out of tune or maybe it was just her eyes singing the blues. The eyes that brought him a smile every time he saw them. They were eyes that were as beautiful and perfect as the rest of her. He realized that they were empty, he realized she was empty. Her little smiles turned blank and she was gone. He new he had do something he always had feelings for the girl with the beautiful eyes.
        He asked her to join him for a night. He pulled his ***** records off the shelf. He knew her blood was on the line. He asked her for what could potentially be a last dance, for what could be her last dance. He took her hands and held her close. They were the only people in the room. He felt like they were the only two in the world. They danced until the scratchy record stopped and when they finished he kissed her cheek.
      For the first time in awhile her little smile was no longer blank, but filled with joy and her eyes were filled with happiness. He took the girl with the beautiful eyes and looked into them and kissed her. It knocked her off her feet but he was there to catch her. She knew from then on that he would always be there to catch her.

He was thinking about someone special. He was thinking about her, but she didn't know. His feelings were obscure, but his goal was clear. He misses her. The happiness that is brought to him by her mere presence was shocking. He cherishes those moments, for whatever hardships may face him in the future, he can look back on those moments with a smile and maybe things won't be so hard anymore. He would much rather face them with her by his side because her presence brings so much more happiness than a memory.

Swiftly sought away
The pain brought on
Day by day
My brain composes
A sad song
Inspired by the faces
Of those
Who are now gone
But humbled
By thoughts of those who stay
The memories fade
And the boat of happiness
Drifts
Slowly away

— The End —
