Love Music

He was going to miss her, even if he didn't want to

he tried not to think of her but she kept popping into his head

Was it her smile, her crazy mischievous smile that seemed to just grab at his soul

Was it the twinkle in her eyes, that danced all over his face

Damn, Stop!

he was driving home.  Didn't need this distraction.  Music playing on the radio...

The "love music" she called it

He chuckled.

Love....... something he hadn't had in a long time.

Real, real love. It was a scarce commodity.

Meeting someone that you were attracted to was easy

but staying in that cool, romantic, loving place was hard

But her, she seemed to find that place in his mind...

The love music drifting along the air....


"God bless you
You made me feel brand new
For God bless me with you
You made me feel brand new
I sing this song for you"

So that's what it  had come to...

he pulled into the driveway..

He would have to call her, tell her something, anything.

maybe this time he would confess

maybe this time he would ask her to coffee or to dinner

where he could just stare at her as she made him feel , really feel...

He walked into the house. All was quiet. He looked at his phone, 

put it down and sat on the couch, 

laying his head back he closed his eyes...

she would be there, still waiting...

he had no doubts about the way he felt

or about the way she felt

it was all worth waiting for....

and somewhere he could hear the "love music" playing....

and that's what it had come to....
