Music I Heard by Conrad Aiken
Music I heard with you was more than music,
And bread I broke with you was more than bread;
Now that I am without you, all is desolate;
All that was once so beautiful is dead.
Your hands one touched this tabler and this silver,
And I have seen your fingers hold this glass.
These things do not remember you, beloved,
And yet your touch upon them will not pass.
For it was in my heart you moved among them,
And blessed them with your hands and with your eyes;
And in my heart they will remember always,-
They knew you once, O beautiful and wise.

And yet your touch upon them will not pass.

And blessed them with your hands and with your eyes;

I miss him. He died 13 years ago and yesterday would have been his birthday. I still have the tape he made me of him singing and playing guitar. I still have a tape of his silly songs he made my friend who then taped them for me along with the song inspired by my bunny slippers. I still have his jean jacket and top coat. I still cry sometimes when I hear "More than Words" by Extreme. Will I ever forget him? No, but I wish remembering didn't hurt.
He was special and thanks to Megiloth's post about music, I remembered him as clear as it were yesterday. There are certain songs besides More Than Words that remind me of him in fun happy ways not just sad I miss you ways. Like Love Stinks by The J Giles Band, as he sang it on that tape he made me. "Loves stinks yeah, yeah yeah ,Espeically if you haven't taken a shower!" Or John Mellencamp's "Authtority Song". He was so talented and just a wonderful man. I will treasure these memoeries always.
Good night, D.J. Willis where ever you may be.
"Are you afraid of me?
Did I touch you in a place that breaks to easily?
Too much, too much for you to just believe in me,
To be with me
Forever."
