Day 4 - 20 Lines in 20 Days

So far so good. This is proving to be challenging to say the least, but thus far the lines are knitting together better than expected. We will see how they do when we get 12-15 songs into this poem.

Today's song is simple enough. Just the title says what the song means to me. That it comes from one of my all-time (and least known to the rest of the world) bands makes it even better. The band is Wire Train. Honestly, outside of me and my brother few know the band.

The song is "The Last Perfect Thing" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uO31wVqGB0). It is a rocking little pop tune with some quite odd lyrics. But the gist of the song is that the relationship is "The Last Perfect Thing". I think we are that thing.

How could anyone have a better marriage than this. How could anything be so perfect? There have been a lot of marriages and there will be many more, but there won't be any like ours. No couple will make each other laugh the way do. They won't be silly the way we are. They won't share what we share. They won't hold hands like we do. They won't kiss the way we do. The won't because what they have isn't perfect. We are the last perfect thing.

The line I like and have chosen for the poem:

"The bells ring, the days change - and I awake to the last perfect thing".

I feel that way every day.

You're the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
