just another memory

We got the top down, starry sky overhead. The wind swirling around us. She gives up all hope of keeping her hair under control. That smile’s contagious. A seductive voice seeps from the stereo and pulls us into a world where we’re only half-conscious. The streets are quiet. Everyone asleep in their beds, living their normal lives, with their 4-door sedans and 40-hour workweeks. The two of us?? We’re living proof that freedom still exists in a world of walls and boundaries. Everybody dreams of the time they were young and free. We’re livin’ it. This road doesn’t turn for miles. I suddenly lose all fear, and let that other side of myself take over.. Headlights glare from the other direction. It doesn’t matter. At 150, we’re nothing but a blur. “Close your eyes”. We head to that spot on the coastline, where our voices drown under the crashing waves. And in this moment, I imagine a world where you could be mine. But I close my eyes and remind myself, it’s just for tonight. When the sun rises we’ll go our separate ways again. And I’ll be stuck wondering, is this all we’ll ever have??… It’s quiet now. The sun still sleeps. And when she wakes, you’ll be a memory…
