Come.
Run away with me! Did you feel that? That spring breeze carried June within its folds. I felt its warmth as your hair strayed across your cheek. I have a new CD in my car. Come. Let's run away; live the next hour as if our lives were a movie. I can dance if it's a movie. Let's just drive, let the music play. It will be our soundtrack. Life is always better in the movies. Come on; don't peer at me over the top of your sunglasses. It makes me think that you don't think I'm serious. Have you noticed that the songbirds have returned? I think their singing is what really causes the trees to grow leaves again. You're peering at me again! Did you notice the daffodils and crocuses blooming? I think the magnolias will bloom soon.
"She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo, reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey."
Yeah, I heard that in a song today. I don't know if you would like their music. Lyrics are good though. Mozart is okay. However, I prefer Vivaldi. "Hey, hey." Ready to go? You just peered again. Why do you do that? I think it is supposed to rain for the rest of the week. Me? Yes, I am feeling better than I was a year ago. I am sorry that it had to happen to you too. It sucks when someone cheats on you, huh? Makes you want to run away even more. Well, at least it makes me want to. But I am doing better. I don't know if I believe in self-esteem. That's probably because mine has been shot down and trampled on. The cheating will do that. But I am doing better. Maybe it's just the effect of the songbirds. Maybe it's the new shirt I'm wearing. Maybe it's you. I am doing better. I had a funny feeling this morning. I felt like I was starting to like who I am. Maybe we shouldn't run away. I think I better just stay here now. Movies are usually overrated anyway. Oh, I like these lines. Turn it up a little.
"And tell me, did Venus blow your mind? Was it everything you wanted to find? And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?"
I don't know. She told me once that she missed having tea together. I think she prefers coffee anyway. What are those bushes with the yellow flowers? I always forget what they are called. No, not honeysuckles! Are those gnats already? It must be your cheap perfume. Oh, don't peer at me again! It was just a joke! Look at the robin over there. It was just a joke. Stop being mad. They say the robins are a true sign of spring around here. They remind me of Pop. He used to tell this corny joke about seeing the first "robbin'" of spring. "Right across at the gas station. These two guys with masks..." Funny, I thought I saw him today.
"With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey. She acts like summer and walks like rain. Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey."
No, she wouldn't admit it if she did miss me. That's okay. I'm doing better. You like the song, huh? I thought you would. Is that shirt new? You look like spring. Maybe it's your eyes. I like it when you peer over your glasses when I talk about your eyes. Yes, I suppose we should. It's a shame to go inside on such a wonderful day. Makes one feel like running away. If only the movies weren't so damn overrated! The song is ending anyway. But we can always dance. We can always dance.
