sunset drive.






on a sunset drive it occurred to me.
how we cheat each other out of daylight.
or another passing hour lost to the night.
and a highway we've driven on forever west.

forever west and you and your friends.
or a bottle of champagne broken for now.
but not before we drank deeply.
sweety here, thank you for the bracelet.

a feeling just a feeling.
like rain on a tin roof but without the damp.
and how you remind me of her.
but now and again those raindrops do fall.

she looked startled because I spoke loudly.
but she remembers well and only sunny days.
and a lot like her as a child.
but we all have our words to get us by.
sven.
