You must remember this, that first cake you baked, it had the
consistency of rubber and yet I ate it all.
I would have finished it but then you had to have a bite. Through your stifled tears I explained that
no one had made one for me before.
And when two lovers woo there are no instructions to follow.
Moonlight and love songs - never out of date, but the
neighbours didn’t concur when I performed a midnight serenade.
It's still the same old story but I am glad to have you by
my side as time goes by.

Work has me travelling between two cities again, which might have contributed to my absence from the prompt last week. So this time to make amends I offer two stories. This one is of a softer hue and the other slightly dark.
And those who recognise the song here is the original
Dear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet story. I really enjoyed it.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle, I am glad that worked.
DeleteSweet story. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Ansumani, I am glad you liked it.
DeleteLove the tone, and the clever use of quotes,
ReplyDeleteThanks Björn I enjoyed myself while using those lines from the song.
DeleteSweet as the word goes. I read the footnote warning me about a darker version ahead. I am headed in that direction.
ReplyDeleteAny direction is fine as long as it is on the right path ;-) Thanks for your comments Umashankar.
Deleteand this you can't deny, a good story in just a few words.
ReplyDeleteThank you that was a poetic comment in itself :-)
DeleteNicely done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra.
DeleteThis is lovely, and finally that song has a happy ending. Now off to the dark one.
ReplyDeleteThank you GaH I am glad you liked it (and hopefully the other one too).
DeleteGreat story combining the words to all those old love songs, Subroto. Lovely. Well done. :) --- Suzanne
ReplyDeleteThanks for those words of appreciation Suzanne.
