Faded Plans

That trip to London and Paris,
Dublin and Glasgow.
Maybe even a side stop in Tuscany
Or Nice.
One more (or more) treks to Broadway
To see our favorite “Phantom” and
To dine at Sardis amongst all the stars.

No real agenda,
Just pick up and go.
Any whim, any time, anywhere our
Desires send our footsteps 
To places of bold new adventures,
Tempting our fate.
Learning to quick-step, the jive and
The waltz. You always wanted to
Teach me to dance.

And yes, I know I could still
Do these things.
But where would the meaning be?
Where would the song?
These faded plans we made together
Lose their luster now
You are gone.
