“We’ll always have Paris”from: Casablanca (1942)

“We‘ll always have Paris”

He repeats to me a

multitude of cliches 

All true

I lie within the protection

of his arms, 

almost comforted

His empathetic attempts to

 cover my grief

 with our shared memories, 

endearing,

Would that it could be so.
