At a Concert

I stood a few feet from the stage
Watching the beautiful man
Sing his beautiful melodies
Heartfelt, famous, self written.

Celebrities surrounded me
I was in awe of their talent
In awe of being so close
Standing within arm’s reach

The crowd swirled
With bright lights
And blurred faces

I leaned back into his chest
Feeling his breath
Warm my neck

It hit me like a fist
He was not you
Never would be you
Or anything I knew

My back pocket moved
Vibrating from a text
From the one
I wanted most
From you

As the famous vocal magicians
Worked their stage magic
Singing the words
It’s not too late
I reminded you of the irony

It was too late
A text of perfect timing
Could not correct
Reality’s mistakes

It was just a song
You were just a memory
