Was this how Cole Porter felt when he wrote that song? I don't know much. As usual, I could be wrong. I only know that I feel a lot. I know this is not a war-time. The present still allows us a safe walk outside, despite this city being full of crimes and how they still threaten women to run and hide. I keep hearing that song here inside my head. It goes on and on, and I find myself loving it, even when it's driving me mad. Still, I will gaze up at your steel blue eyes, because I know I don't have much time anymore. I'll hide these silent tears behind my smile, before you turn around again and walk out that door. Maybe it's not quite accurate, but I sort of could tell why Cole Porter wrote that song. It's the feeling that I get, sorrow hidden and gone unexpressed for too long. I know I'm still fully alive, yet it feels like bit by bit - my spirit slowly dies everytime we say goodbye... R.
