You'Ve Got the Rhythm In You

She once met a man called Noel, He was a musician of rock and roll, They sang and played music into the night, When she is with him she doesn’t get a fright. Then He turned to her and said... You’ve got the rhythm in you, You’ve got it in your shoes, You’ve got it in your bones, You’ve got it in your toes, You’ve got it in your hair, You’ve got it everywhere, You’ve had it from the start, You’ve got it in your heart. Through the wind they whispered singing softly, Into the crack of dawn, morning light... At 6am she fell asleep, Subconsciously she heard a creep... She woke up and he wasn’t there, She called for his name, It was like he didn’t care, She was going insane! She still hears those words at night, Though unable to see Him through sight. You’ve got the rhythm in you, You’ve got it in your shoes, You’ve got it in your bones, You’ve got it in your toes, You’ve got it in your hair, You’ve got it everywhere, You’ve had it from the start, You’ve got it in your heart.

I see this as a dream for an imagined love or idea of the perfect love. A musician that touched the heart as well as the soul. Well done piece.

the mystery about this is you don't know if 'He' is real or just a fantasy/dream. You'll never know! :)
