Love is a cruel mistress..

Sometimes love can kill you..

Love is a cruel mistress...

You called me on a Sunny Friday and you asked me.

Please Johnnie, meet me in Austin, Texas at midnight.

I am feeling lonely, I need to dance and I need some whisky kisses.

Please soldier boy, your Texas girl need to know,

she is still alive.

I told her, dear Michele, loveliest gal in Texas.

You are wild storm, you are a wild child.

I don't know if I can learn to need you again.

My old heart is heavy with regret and

you love to steal kisses and run.

You have taught me.

Love is a cruel mistress.

I know you can't hold the wind and

a Texas tornado cannot know love.

She held silence for a moment and she whispered.

Johnnie, you and I.

Just thieves in the night and please come to me.

I need some days and nights near the sea and the kindness of a friend.

We met at the jazz club in the Spring and I remember you told me.

Don't fall in love, love is a cold mistress.

The skin always want and need more and more.

Please remember you promised to make me smile.

I want to smile again.

I told her. Beautiful Michele, my lovely poet, my Texas rose.

I will see you at twelve midnight and I will bring the Gentleman Jack.

We will dance till closing time, we will share whiskey kisses and

we won't make promises we can brake.

She laughed and she whispered. I will wear my blue dress and

my dancing shoes. Thank you dear Johnnie.

I hung the phone up and I told the silence.

Love be damned, love be sweet.

Beautiful Michele, I will come to you with hopeful heart.

Knowing you are the Austin hurricane who need to touch

and feel the burn of life.

"I know you can't hold the wind and
a Texas tornado cannot know love."

Loved these lines, dear Coyote. Some people may not know love in its defined sense of the word but are still lovable and want to be loved. I'm glad you decided to see her and dance with her. She needed you and you were a wonderful and unconditional friend in need. I hope it was a beautiful and unforgettable evening. This is so awesome to read.

We had many. We lived in the day of dance and the song. Thank you dear Divya for reading and the comment.

Love is indeed a cruel mistress when she knows you will always willingly follow her demands even though your heart will be broken again you will follow it ...

'Love is a cruel mistress.
I know you can't hold the wind and
a Texas tornado cannot know love.'

Your wonderfully loving memory is yet another lesson on how to or not, John! These words seem to have lingered, you both really had something special going. Feeling that 'burn of life' must have been precious' . Takes a real man to know when and how. Great video. sir
