hearing song
of the year
he remembers
being young
not always
an easy time
but also fun
after drinking
too much
bar closed
or party done
as the lyrics say
he needed
someone
to carry him
home
one night
there was
this girl
sound familiar
didnt know
each other much
danced joked
jousted a little
he had found
someone
to carry him
home
she helped him
toward the car
sat drivers side
played his favorite
music on the way
when they arrived
she guided him
inside directly
to a bedroom
removed
his coat
stretched
him out
loosened
his collar
took off
his shoes
found a blanket
for cover
brushed
his lips
with hers
then
she
left
morning sun
he awoke
couldnt find
her anywhere
told himself
he didnt care
still asked
around awhile
adding
if you see her
say hello
now
he wonders
is his memory
fading
did that
actually
happen
was it only
a dream
might have been
an angel
if he believed
in such things
what ever
became of her
would she recall
him at all
will she return
during his final
helplessness
to carry him
home
