by heart.

i knew it by heart
every key, every note
when you played it for me
the room blue with dusk
the sofa sagging with age
and your guitar half out of tune.
i didn’t want to say
i’d heard it before
so i fooled you
with my bright eyes
and told you i loved the song
when really, i just loved you.
