still feeling the sting...

the scorpions...live at ava....09.18.07

i'll be there tonight,
when the smoke is going down.
back to the place
where memories abound

of songs we sang
so long ago
the soundtrack to
our secret show

of animal magnetism,
and love at first sting.
of youthful romance,
and other bittersweet things

the impermanence
of love and life
and dreams that one day
you'd be my wife

and though i know
you won't be there
i'll still look for you
in the cool night air

and when they play that song,
you know the one.
that sad lament
of a heart undone.

i'll try not to cry,
but this much is true.
i'll be there tonight -

still loving you.
