Play it, Sam.
Play “As Time Goes By.”

Those are the words of another time
Another place
(yeah, but I heard them today)
Another lifetime?
My parents watch it.
And those of us who want to remember
We’ll do it.

So are the rest just gonna forget?

See you, Edo, see you, Al.
Watching them go off
Kinda heroic, wasn’t it.
Uprooted and relocated,
A different world
A different life
(and just at eighteen.)

It’s kinda romantic
Until you think about it.
And you realize that we know
how that story ends.
They’re in no history books,
Their names are not remembered.
Even if they were,
They weren’t.

See you, Victor,
See you, Ilsa.
They just wanted a perfect world,
And even when that war ended,
There was only another waiting to come.

The Czechs weren’t free.
We’re still stuck at war.

Just fly off in your plane,
And maybe try to forget Paris
And that other side of the Gate.

That’s part of another life, now.

Let’s get this one sorted out.

A melancholy truth; but if it makes you feel better...

Did you know the mind cannot tell the difference between real and imagined experiences?

If you believe in Jesus Christ as your savior, copy and paste this into your signature.

Quoth- "Work the camera, Anna".

Very well done. I always imagine your writings as sepia. Like Heimingway shortened.

"All is fair in love and war. This is why you bring knives to a fistfight, guns to a knife-fight, and tanks to a gunfight.
.. don't get into tank-fights. "

wow. i love your poetry!!!!!!!!!!!
this is the melancholy truth of life.
*is trying to sound deep^*
*is failing at sounding deep^*

The truth is hiding in your eyes,
and it’s hanging on your tongue.
Just boiling in my blood.
But you think that I can’t see
what kind of man that you are;
if you’re a man at all.
Well, I will figure this one out
on my own.
