The Anniversary April 23, 2026

by Yuri Kageyama

Proud to have survived a whole year

A numb blur at first

And that is nothing

Compared to all the

Laughing in love, suffering in love, worrying in love

We had together

That time, so long and only so clear now

Because when we were living it

It was just a day at a time

But I will start to remember them,

A year at a time, a day maybe at a time, 

Like turning the pages of a beloved book

Starting with the rock song that was a big hit then

And you just told me you will enlighten me

With better music like John Coltrane
