Buckley and Wine

The rain makes me ache with memories

Black coffee, your books, and my singing

You were something borrowed

I was something blue

Honestly, the rain reminds me of you

 

In spring I drank mostly wine

Listened to Buckley all the time

Constantly pestered you with the knowledge I held

Of a poet that was six feet under and very pale

 

But you'd listen

 

And in a sweeping moment I knew

There may never be a love like you

Your art spoke of this type of entanglement

And it seemed by the pictures it strangles quick

 

Yet, the world felt softer now I think it through

Because I'd rather go back than sit here and brew

This coffee taste black, cold, and shrew

This isn't what reminds me of you
