I Actually Loved Her

You know, I think I really did.
Whenever she sat by

the piano
I would request

Sonatine
or some Debussy.

And the pianist
actually knew it.

In C# Minor,
are you kidding me?

I reckon love must be
all about that dissonance, finally.

They had a bar like you’d want,
long stretches of oak

and a Classical that awoke
if you barely even touched it.

Anyway, I think
I actually loved her

and they made some great pizza.
