Love’s Soundtrack [remix]
I said, in a haze,
a stormy haze,
I’d be round,
I’d be loving you always.
And it’s true that I’m thankful
for the lessons
and the blessings.
You could have
Been mine, been mine.
Loving you is easy;
was easy.
I would have loved you
more
than anyone.
But I went away
about three years ago,
just before Christmas.
I’m still small.
I’m still needy.
Do you still talk so much sense
when you’re sleeping?
You will remember me.
Will I remember you?
I will weep not
for the memories.
I have the feeling
that we started in the middle.
Sometimes I feel
a little fragile.
And I don’t want to fall
to pieces.
When the night is dark and stormy
I’m not missing you.
You do something to me
I can’t explain.
I wouldn’t be the same
without you.
So many things left
undiscovered.
Goodbye my lover.
I don’t need your sunshine
to make me smile.
I’ll take my time,
but I won’t wait in line
always.

Yeah, like this... I loved almost all of it, it made sense, but while reading it, my mind tripped up on the phrase..
But I went away
about three years ago,
just before Christmas
I was a little thrown, though it had to be explained I suppose.
Overall, the poem is so human and real, well said. I really liked this. |

| Before I read what your inspiration was I was like "I hear music, you should put this one to music" then after reading where you got the words from I read it two more times to see if I could identify the songs. LOL. Great piece. :) |

The premise here was taking songs that remind me of a particular someone and twisting the lyrics a bit. So I must give credit to the following bands/artists/groups (and if you like the poem, perhaps checkout some of their music):
Coldplay, Kelly Clarkson, David Gray, Alicia Keys, Gavin DeGraw, Sugababes, Sia, Natalie Imbruglia, Sarah McLachlan, John Mayer, Delta Goodrem, Avril Lavigne, Hanson, Abby Dobson, Incubus, Brooke Fraser, Ashlee Simpson, James Blunt, Gabrielle. |

| This is well written sentiment. You have captured the mood perfectly, something like unrequited love, lingering in the hopes that the other realizes they loved you all the while too. Emotional piece. |

| MMM very accessible. I think this is quite an important nerve you hit here. Sounds like those almost relationships we put on the backburner, thinking it'll wait, then when time comes the tide has turned, time has moved on, we are just left with the maybe, coulda, to do something about it its too late, who knows? just my reading of it anyway. Sorry but any line like ''I’d be loving you always'' has to have me up and dancing LOL. |
