The Last Picture Show

Sippin' champagne in your old '69 didn't really know what was on your mind should've taken you up while the offer was low but it's kind of late now; it's the last picture show Headin' for home feelin' lonely and scared didn't know what you were tryin' to say back there but you gave me a look as if I should know this would be the last picture show Now you tell me you wanna make love but sometimes there's things I'm just not certain of I really thought we had a good thing, ya know But it won't matter now - that's the last picture show If you ever remember the good times before I've loved you a thousand times or more Just one more thing before I go Thanks for the time at the last picture show.

Very nicely done! There's some mystery to your poem, and the phrase "last picture show" is really catchy.

Nice rhyming poetic tale. Once again a song like cadence flows in your words. This does make me look back on another time and place and perhaps something very similar to this happening. Nicely done Gayle
