Piano
Location
Sometimes I wish my you were a piano
So I could understand every chord and melody.
Though you are a memory.
As my mahogany instrument.
I want to lose myself in the flow of your voice,
As beautiful and as gentle as my favorite piece.
A piece played in A Minor.
Smooth and gentle like your tough.
I want to know your sounds,
And how you work,
And what makes you sing.
I wish you were a piano,
I would be with you for hours,
Fix the mistakes,
The off-key sounds,
The ripped sheet music.
Painstaking practice
Could lead me to that one lovely melody,
Each note falls into place.
I want to memorize
Your majors and minors,
Your flats and sharps.
Every note.
I want to remember.
I wish you were a piano.
