It’s Always Sad Poem by James Callos Jordan

When I remember you,
It rings a tune in my heart;
A tune that becomes a song,
And would play for a while.

I want haste time,
As the rhythm picks up;
Because I’m eager to hear,
All the parts I like.

I want to stop time,
In the middle of the song;
At my favorite part,
The one that says “I love you”.

I want to slow time,
Just about where the song ends;
Just to savor every bit of it,
And feel as it slowly fades

It’s sad to know the truth,
That for every song that plays;
For every melodic beginning,
There is an unstoppable end.

But you know what? I could always press “repeat”.
