"THE COAT OF LOVE" by Joanne Boyle

"THE COAT OF LOVE"
by Joanne Boyle

I stopped by your house today.

I saw you sitting there.

I watched you through the window,

Sitting on my chair.

That old coat of mine,

you had thrown across your knee.

I wanted to come and tell you,

that's not how to remember me.

I saw you look toward the window,

then at the flicker of the light.

Yes that was me my love

from the darkness of the night.

You turned toward my photograph.

I watched you cry again.

I longed to stop those tears.

To try to take away your pain.

So I flickered the light once more.

This time I think you knew.

You then hugged that old coat

Just like you used to do.

But unlike those times before,

you saw my coat was now unworn.

You hugged it once again my love

and a memory was born.

I watched as you now smiled.

Then as you got up from the chair,

I put on that old familiar coat,

and I met you there.
