Perfect Ten
Elegy for a Lost Perfect 10: Unraveling the Journey of Love
Lyrics
My old flame, was walking down the road last night
Reflecting on encountering a past romantic partner on the street.
I called her name and we stood beneath the street light
Initiating contact and standing together under a street light.
We talked a while, about all the old stuff
Engaging in conversation about past memories.
I was thinking to myself, man she's had it rough
Noticing the challenges and difficulties the person has faced.
I remember when
Recalling a previous time.
She used to be a perfect 10
Expressing admiration for the person's previous perfection.
Once she had steel blue eyes and long jet black hair
Describing physical features of the person in the past.
Petite in size, curves that made you stop and stare
Highlighting the person's attractive and captivating qualities.
I loved how she'd whisper my name
Recalling the pleasure of hearing the person whispering the speaker's name.
My heart go a thumpin' like a runaway train
Expressing the intense emotional impact of the past relationship.
That was way back when
Returning to memories of a time when the person was perfect.
She used to be a perfect 10
Reiterating the idea that the person was once flawless.
Did someone break her heart, leave her, all a mess
Suggesting that something negative may have happened to the person.
It was rude to ask, but if I had to guess
Acknowledging the sensitivity of inquiring about the person's past experiences.
Time ravages, maybe at some stage
Speculating on the impact of time on the person's appearance.
She just gave up, started looking her age
Suggesting the possibility that the person has given up and aged.
I remember when
Returning to memories of the person's past perfection.
She used to be a perfect 10
Reiterating the idea that the person was once flawless.
It's breaks my heart, to see her that way
Expressing sadness at seeing the person in a less favorable condition.
My mind's blocking out yesterday
Struggling to cope with the current state of the person.
I remember when
Returning to memories of the person's past perfection.
She used to be a perfect 10
Reiterating the idea that the person was once flawless.
Say I remember when
Emphasizing the recollection of the person's past perfection.
She used to be a perfect 10
Repeating the sentiment of remembering the person's past perfection.
I remember when
Continuing to emphasize memories of the person's past perfection.
She used to be a perfect 10
Concluding with a repeated acknowledgment of the person's past perfection.
