An evening

We don’t see each other

As often as we once did

And there are no more evenings

Spent with you and others

Talking about everything

And yet nothing in particular

But today, as I was

Cooking in my house

Just playing and humming

To songs on shuffle

A song played, and suddenly

I was back to that place

Back to that evening

When I first heard the song

When you suggested it

And made us all listen to it

And I felt a little

Less alone in my house

Isn’t it beautiful?

How when memories have songs

Songs become the memory?
