When I saw you

By zazu

I saw you last September,
No one remembers why.
No one remembers why you left,
No one will even try.
No one pays attention,
That you're not even here.
That words run dry right off their lips,
Because they ive in fear.

    Through wine glasses,
    Through glass windows that keep you from the heat.

    Let the noises dissolve into murmurs and songs,
    Let the light on our faces keep us peaceful and calm.
