Love in Place

I really don’t remember falling in love all that much  I remember wanting to bake corn bread and boil a ham and I  certainly remember making lemon pie and when I used to smoke I  stopped in the middle of my day to contemplate 

I know I must have fallen in love once because I quit biting  my cuticles and my hair is gray and that must indicate  something and I all of a sudden had a deeper appreciation  for Billie Holiday °  and Billy Strayhorn° so if it wasn’t love I don’t  know what it was 

I see the old photographs and I am smiling and I’m sure quite  happy but what I mostly see is me  through your eyes  and I am still young and slim and very much committed to the  love we still have

Billie Holiday jazz singer (1915–59); 

Billy Strayhorn jazz composer and musician (1915–67).
