Moonlight and a Stupid Song
the radio had been playing all night long, you closed the door on me and went back inside. I leaned my head back and just pretended, cause you were busy smiling. With my head against the car seat, I pretended you opened my door, You whispered in my ear a song you would rather like to hear and you lifted me away into a rough version of a waltz. We slow danced on the corner while the half moon was high and orion was straightening his belt. You said this is what you knew I would look like in the moonlight. I said you were beautiful and I would dance all night just with you in my eyes. Then you held me close and hummed the notes, to a song I couldn't quite place. She ran a red light I woke with a fright realizing it was all a dream. "Next time" I said, Alone in my head, "Next time you will dance with me."
