You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You&#039;re on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who&#039;ll decide where to go.<br /> -Dr.Seuss<br /> Dr. Seuss

On strings of nylon
we created melodies to soft chords
beautiful music
a euphoric duet
in metaphorical proportion

no one made music like we did

but you cut off our strings
silenced my lips
and our song came to be forever unfinished
a half sentence



I think
that the reason that our melodies
will always be stuck in my brain


I will always wonder
how the rest of the song
would have been ...

but we will never know

for although we made beautiful music




You never understood the lyrics.?
