French Films

 

Memories you can't claim as your own

Moods delicate and painful at once

Beauty you can touch but not hold

It's there if you know what you want

 

If those directors 

Worked with me at my job 

Following me 

With my unnamed thoughts

 

I'd gain an immortality 

Of a type 

Like a melody 

Stuck in my mind

 

Memories you can claim as your own

Goddard, Resnais, Rohmer, Truffaut 

Preparing you for the bittersweetness

Of life 

Before you learned how to smoke
