Last evening, I saw the movie 'Before Sunrise,' again after nearly five years. And I found it just as refreshing and romantic as the first time I watched it. In one of the scenes, the couple in the film meets a poet on the streets who offers to write them a poem with a word of their choice for money. They choose the word 'milkshake' and this is the poem he writes for them. This was originally written by David Jewell and I find it utterly cute and romantic.
Daydream delusion,
limousine eyelash,
oh, baby with your pretty face,
drop a tear in my wineglass,
look at those big eyes,
see what you mean to me,
sweet cakes and milkshakes,
I am a delusioned angel,
I am a fantasy parade,
I want you to know what I think,
dont want you to guess anymore,
you have no idea where I came from,
we have no idea where we’re going,
launched in life,
like branches in the river,
flowing downstream,
caught in the current,
I’ll carry you, you’ll carry me,
that’s how it could be,
don’t you know me?
don’t you know me by now?
