soundtracks

i had my iPod playing on speakers.

i opened the door to let him in.

"Passenger Seat" drifted in, the words nonchalantly swirled beneath our spoken words.

"oh and i can't keep my eyes on the road, knowing that she's inches from me..."

he said goodbye.

but then he somehow found another trail of conversation. and he took it. lingered. i let him.

"This Kiss" piped in, echoing my quiet delight.

"Run me off into the sunset, baby I'm forever yours."

we were talking by the kitchen.

then there was a brief lull when we were both silent.

and as if on cue, the next song started "Kiss me..."

"Kiss me beneath the milky twilight.
Lead me out on the moonlit floor..."

lingered, lingered, lingered.
