the is my latest podcast
At the mention of your name
At the mention of your name
I smile and fight back tears
And touch a secret ache
Love and loss
At mention of your name
I think of big jumpers
Mix tapes
And indie bands
Political debates
At the mention of your name
my mother would say “He’s a nice boy”
With a “you need to try more look”
And my sister would get dreamy
Even the dog liked you.
At the mention of your name
I remember the laughter
The camping in Ireland
Birthday day treats of
Festival shows and odd pie
At the mention of your name
I remember the last visit
We laughed and laughed
Till tears flowed
Joyus it was the love in room
At the mention of your name
I still ache
On Occasion cry and hide it
Unreconstructed male
Afraid to say love.
At the mention of your name
I miss you Eddie
I know I’m not the only one
I’m glad you where a friend
precious You are to me
