I can hear you humming that song,

thumping your feet as you tap along.

Your eyes alive as you smile wide,

you come and hug me from behind.

We dance together your heart and mine,

You bellow the lyrics, butchering each line.

And now as the same song plays in this shop,

I don't want it to stop,

because the harder I try to hold on to each detail,

my memory of you has begun to fade.

I close my eyes and try to see you as you've been,

but the song stops playing more quickly than I can,

and when I looked again,

you were gone.
