Five decades of music

2026.02.02. One week on since love at first sound.
I could not switch my mind of this latest piano,
But, my daily commitments in the city,
The effort to travel was also an issue.
Then this morning, all of a sudden,
A crazy idea crossed my mind,
An excuse for me to visit it.
I planned playing well to record some songs.
First one, I heard it in the 70's,
Mr Rice wrote down the lyric,
"Crazily Waiting" was the name.
Literally, twice he asked for my hand,
In a spade of a decade,
And as far as half a globe apart.

The second song would be "The last unnamed song".
In the 80's, I sang another song from the same composer.
I sang along with the sound of guitar,
Played by a person I once engaged to.
It's name was "The unnamed song number 2"
Now four decades later, I wanted to pay a compliment,
Just the music played with no lyric.

Two years ago, BB disclosed,
He loved "The Moon Represents My Heart".
Months later, I realised he loved that song,
Because it was sang by a person,
He has had a crush on.
Recently, this song has become,
The 1st and last on each piano visit.
I also noticed, lots of people love this song to bit.
Well, it was BB who encouraged me,
And it was also him, who never heard me playing it.

Last but not least, one year ago,
JC prompted me to write the lyric,
Play it on piano and sang it to him.
I did it within three days, and unfortunate,
He never heard and enjoyed any of it.
"Braham Lullaby" bye bye baby.

As a matter of fact, I play all these songs every day, 
Not in any particular order like BB's
I also found a second song for each of them.
"Endless Love", "Fall for you", Hopelessly, Wu Nai" and Hello".
I would never see any of them again,
They would never knew any of this,
That was how twisted my life have been.
