All I wanted was for the music
to remind me of you
not of my heartbreaks,
my pain, my doubts, my stupidity.
All I wanted was for the rhythm
to flow mellifluously along
the beat of my heart
as it synchs with yours.
All I wanted was for the beat
to move me along
just as how you did
when you first tugged my hand (and eventually, my heart)
All I wanted was for the notes
to make me think of your voice
just before we fall asleep
and immediately after we wake.
(Is it possible to lose the ear
for the tune of your favourite
song?)
All I wanted was for the pieces
to fit back to its jigsaw
where it (rightfully should and) used to be,
but how is that?
When every song in my storage
reminds me of the failed
last act we did and never had the courage
to actually fix?
