Aili Miller – Waves

Waves

Waves in the ocean

Like the name of the song I only half learned to play on my old piano

The piano I begged my parents to buy me so I could learn Mozart

I wanted to play for you

I still know some songs by heart

The ones you loved to hear

The ones I practiced late at night so that one day-

I could play them perfectly

That old piano still sits in my home

Really just decoration now

But if you ever came back-

And asked me to play

I’d smile and say,

Anytime love, but only for you
