Custom poem written for Steve Auld won at auction, titled "Our Song"
-----------------
by Caitlin Hagans (this girl is amazing)
"The melody is simple
and we quote the lyrics without realizing it--
calling ourselves individuals, and lovers,
and everything there is
with words that are not our own.
All of the world is silent for a moment
as we say goodnight with our lips, and part ways..
The world shall scream its lament
when you say, "I don't know how long it will be
before we meet again."
Six months pass, and I collect the most aromatic gardenias
from the small plot in my front yard, pausing every so often
as Our song slow-dances through my mind--
I have not forgotten
how simple our melody is..
And the line is overquoted, but
I love you too."
