Do you Remember

when you called me

Dame

And I called you

Sweetheart?

Those times are here

Where I find you now

It’s black-and-white

And shades of gray

Where you’ve always wanted to be

I can’t stay

I live in color

My dress is bright

Blue

Like you always were

I don’t belong

I just wanted to say

I remember

When you called me

Dame

  1. Awesome. I was kinda hoping someone would pick this one! Love how you captured the noir vibe both literally and figuratively. It actually took some doing to get this image created, believe it or not. It kept trying to put another person or two in the alley, and I was abundantly clear I wanted it empty except for the two figures in the foreground lol
    Another killer take, Amy! Thank you! 😊

    1. Thanks, Kevin! This one just kind of grabbed me. I really like it. Well done, Kevin. I agree with you that people in the background would’ve been distracting. Thank you for sharing it. 😊
