Late night, early day
Imbibed with alcohol and haze
Watching a movie we used to see
I remember us falling asleep.
I tried so hard when you had left
To watch the movie, but yet
It wasn't my thing, I kept falling asleep.
As I as napped, I heard
"Unforgettable, in every way..."
"Unforgettable, that's what you say...."
A tear of love falls down my cheek
How the thought of you makes me regret...
All the things I wish I'd said
I thought I'd see you again someday
Yet all the claims I thought I'd stake
To vacant air I do repeat
"Unforgettable, in every way"
My heart, my friend.
My Dusk, my Dawn.
Adieu

Good use of quotations. They're misused so often.

I often listen Natalie Cole's CD... and Unforgettable sure is one of my fav.
Sad poem of course... but this is, by far, one of the best poem I've read in these days...
Reading good writings make me filled with joy.
I really love this.
Natalie Cole's CD version was actually the one I was referring to! We listen to the same music! Woot!
"a tear of love" ... wow really liked that part
hope things work out for the best
Background: My girlfriend at the time tried on several occassions to try and get me to watch this movie. Each and every time I try, I end up falling asleep. Time goes on, girlfriend leaves and feelings are hurt. A couple nights back, myself and a totally unrelated group of friends pop a movie in after a night of hanging out at a bar and, lo and behold, it's the same movie. Hurt feelings arise and I, sober, start driving home. The cd in the car happens to be on the one particular song my then-girlfriend had sung to me so many moons ago.
And that's how the poem came about. For me, it's not a particularly *sad* poem, it's just one that brings back memories of a wonderful friendship and of a wonderful person that sadly I no longer communicate with.
