Mute
.
In the beginning you poured sound into my soul.
.
A beat of chatter that intensified with the pulse of my heart.
.
What opened with spoken words slowly built into a beautiful piece of music.
.
A harmony of humanity.
.
A melody of minds.
.
A symphony of sensuality.
.
A musical score that dances in the veins.
.
I was hooked from the first note.
.
A crescendo of chemistry.
.
And then, without warning, the reassuring sound started to fade.
.
The lyrics no longer left your mouth.
.
You turned down the volume.
.
Mute.
.
Occasionally there is the odd crackle.
.
White noise.
.
Unexplained silence.
.
I have tried to play the tune with another, but it is an inferior copy.
.
The memory of you rings in my ears.
.
I still remember every word of our song.
