September 27, 2008 - Song by Leonard Cohen

On this day, I copied a poem by Leonard Cohen that I fell in love with:

Song

I almost went to bed

without remembering

the four white violets

I put in the button-hole

of your green sweater

and how I kissed you

and you kissed me

shy as though I'd

never been your lover.

This poem still fills my heart with a rush of love mixed with nervous, sensual excitement. How do words do that? Thank you, Mr. Cohen. I've remembered to remember many beautiful moments because of your song.
