Catherine

A wonderful composition it would be,
and when she heard it, he was sure
that she would fall in love with him.

Over two years he perfected it,
such delicate and gentle notes
emanating from the strokes of his fingers.

But she found another lover,
and it was through deep meditation
he decided to continue the song.

He even kept the title,
her name, the same,
up until her wedding day.

It was on that day she heard,
while walking on the terrace,
a sound that struck her still.

"A wonderful song, isn't it dear?"
Unblinking and faltering, she stuttered,
"Yes, it must be for one dearly beloved."
