Love in a minor key

Love in a minor key

Love in a minor shade of blue

A hue that’s so familiar to me

But I’m getting my passport ready

I’m going somewhere far away

And then you can see me from a distance

I look better to you that way

The blue fades to cerulean from midnight 

My navy pencil skirt

An eggshell shirt

Dark hosiery and bright red flats

My black jacket

Pressed and perfect 

Looks so nice

Especially from a distance

My teeth are white

My smile is bright and clean

I hung it on a line last night to dry it

My eyes, however, are still wet,

But never fret, I’m going away 

And it’s best, because you can bet

That even the tears look great like this

From a distance
