Haunting Melody

It was a starless night, taking that first step.

Tenderly, gently, waiting with baited breath.

Guitar strings lead a tentative melody,

With the charm of piano chords in captivating harmony.

Our eyes watch the sky fill with twinkling stars,

Enraptured by the music, caught in its magical fire.

I reach for you, in the midst of time and space,

Forgetting, yet again, for a moment, how you left without a trace.
