Radio Memories
The Sonnet of Shadows Challenge
Riding around listening to the car radio
Tears falling like rain
Doesn't he know I love him so
I feel like I will never be the same
*****
Roy Orbison's song singing, " It's Over", on the airway
My tears are blurring my vision and I can hardly see
I am wondering who will pay
Why did he fall out of love with me
*****
My memory slipping back to "Pretty Woman" walking down the street
I begin to hum
"Pretty Woman", kind I'd like to meet
Maybe my life has just begun
*****
I was only eighteen at the time of the tears
My life has seen many more tears through the years

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
