On sleepless nights
I stroll the left bank in sequined heels
My Eyelids heavy with smoky glitter
Among the art I find you
Your essence pierces my veins
Settles in the pool of my heart
Dim lights flicker their last warning in
the cafe where like willows we sway
To long forgotten love songs
Then you are gone never hearing Je t’aime
the only French I know.

“Je t’aime, Je t’aime (lyrics by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin)
“I love you
Like a fool like a soldier
Like a movie star
I love you I love you
Like a wolf like a king
Like a man that I am not
I love you like that”
