Song for Her

     I had an amazing weekend. It was mostly one very, very long date with a four break for sleep in between. I met my date at 6:45 on Saturday night and we went to see Little Shop of Horrors at the local theatre. Afterward, we went to a wine bar and a pub. I got home at 2:30 in the morning and got up four hours later to get ready to meet her again for coffee at 8 before we went skiing/snowboarding at 9. We came down in time for lunch, then picked up her dog and I took her out to my parent's place. We hung out with my parents, talked, I played guitar for her and took her back to her car around 10 pm. While I was playing I started to write a song for her, but didn't get too far. The first line stuck in my head though, so in my spare time at work today, I came up with the following. I'll likely add a chorus before I call it complete. Also, it's a working title, but I kind of like it.

Song for Her

You kissed the wine from my lips

lost your way in my music

and never looked back

Your star flashed across the sky

down the road less traveled by

and straight into my life

If there was ever another path

these last few days washed it away

and we’ll never know the difference

I’m looking forward to a here and now

so tangled up in you

we’ll never unravel.

So here’s to seizing the day

and taking a leap of faith

if we fall, we’ll fall together

You kissed the wine from my lips

gave in to the music

and never looked back.
