Hello

'Hello ~ is it me you’re looking for'
To me these words my love would sing
when on my doorbell he would ring
Oh such a glorious greeting
after many years together 
With the endless love we had
There would never be another
He truly was my one and only 
My darling penny lover
Whilst running with the night
We were dancing on the ceiling
As iconic Lionel sang our songs
Together dancing all night long

What I would give to hear once more
my lover’s voice come through my door
Gently singing ~ 'Hello ~ is it me you’re looking for'....

Written 14th January 2019
Competition: Hello
Sponsor: Silent One
2nd Place

Such sweet memories I will cherish forever as we danced together to the romantic, evocative,
and unforgettable lyrics of Lionel Ritchie...
