Serenade in Blue

“Tell me darling is there still a spark?

Or only lonely ashes of the flame we knew

Should I go on whistling in the dark,

Serenade in blue”

Glen Miller and His Orchestra https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=k6L4oG2PXXI

She was
I know that now
“A Revelation”
Sent for me 
By “Destiny”
“The Match
Made in Heaven”
Well, whatever
I fucked it up
…
She had
The most beautiful
Auburn hair
That kind of colour
You could killed for
Curly,
Long 
Amazing
Cirrostratus clouds
Lighten by the sunset

She was so slender
Almost a line
Or rather bunch of 
Thin cut lines
Combined into
Shapes so perfect
That gravity
Didn’t apply

And she knew …
The only woman I knew
Who could tell
The definition of quarks
And why gluons
Were void of mass
Like her
She was the clever one

So we were
Glued to each other
The moment
We started to talk
And then she hugged me
She literally hunged on my neck
And I didn’t feel
Any weight 
Any burden at all
And I knew …
And I also knew
That she knew
And…

We wouldn't touch
For next five years
Until we danced
A week before
Her wedding
And then I knew
And she knew

All that time before
We would talk
We would laugh
We would argue
We were 
The best of friends
The clever ones
The best students
In the Institute
Always competing
And always …
Getting more frustrated
By our friendship
…
There were always
Many blokes around her
Handsome
Sparky
Successful men
Bloody crowded
There always was
She chose
Wisely
She was after all
The clever one

Her choice was cast
On “A hero”
A real commandos
Operator of 
An elite unit
Ranked 3rd 
In the world
He took her away
From the wedding 
In an air balloon
I could at this point
Supply only
A 10-yeard-old
VV Golf

So I knew
And she knew
That the only way
For me
And for her
It’s me
Walking away
Whistling
“Serenade in Blue”

I hope
They were happy
Ever after
Maybe
Still are

He’s probably killed
Couple of hundred
Bad guys
I have since
Saved
Couple of thousand
Bad guys
But I had to become one
First

I don’t know
Maybe today
It would be different

Then
I didn’t deserve
Her
I didn’t 
Fight
