Analysis of Not a poem just a guitar song



Today that guitar song came on the radio
I had not heard it since you left
I remembered every word
I remembered that day in your car
Singing at the top of our lungs
I remembered being pissed when you suddenly played it
How I wish you played it again
I am sorry
Please come back
