It had almost been 6 year, just a few months shy. We have seen the best of each other the worst of each other. We have parted now, she with new her aficionado and me all by myself.
I remember the time I first saw her, sparkling, luminous……resplendent. A few shamelessly drooling encounters followed, every time I had to mollify my heart that she was above my league, and that on no account would she acquiesce to my gambit. I have had my share of russet coloured counterfeits, but she was the real deal.
Finally perseverance and fortitude paid off, and we were together…. ecstatically. Melody, a song the right annotations…strummed caressed, plucked, wafted. Downy and velvety…..scandalously bawdy and raunchy at times. I loved her in the mornings, she was raspy and vaguely off key.
It would be disingenuous to say that to say everything was perfect. We had our moments of dissonant and jarring cacophony. But we survived it all…..
Now she lies nestled in someone else’s arm. Having said that, I secretly know full well, that no one can tweak her to tune like I did....
I know selling my old guitar has not been easy on me.......
