love song

Belting out the lyrics
to my favorite love song,
your presence on stage
makes me catch my breath.
I left you long ago
but you never left me.
You've been here all along
in the corners of my mind.
I've paused, mid-thought
then a smile plays at my lips,
and a tear forms in my eye.
Memories of you break free
always without warning,
and jump in front of my eyes
like some sixties flashback
or faded Polaroid.
I know some part of me 
still resides within you.
I can hear it in your voice
when you're belting out the lyrics
to my favorite love song.
