Casablanca state of mind...‏

~when two lover's woo

In a Casablanca state of mind,

   want to be kissed 

                   like it's the last time

           remember every detail,

the romance in my soul

                fell into a deep slumber

yet as time goes by

 I want you, to make me believe

 in love again,

     even when a gun is pointed at my heart

Paris in moonlight sounds grander

               than those fine piano keys,

    I want to play it again   ~

                    for recollection's old times sake   

I could be your Ilsa, you can be my Rick ~

C'mon,

     Bogart me baby...

I love the addition of the music. It seems really romantic, unless you've actually watched Casablanca. I love that it hints at darkness, without flat out stating it:) " I want you, to make me believe in love again, even when a gun is pointed at my heart"

I must say, Paris in moonlight is the phrase that stuck out to me; the city of love under the blanket of darkness perceived with a hint of optimism and hope; remembering only the lovely moments that had made you swoon during the day a*s the night shrouds the present. Well done, as always.

[Frieda P]

Sounds perfect to me too, who doesn't want Paris, thanks Tai.
