he came up to her on her bed and kissed her goodmorning then because there wasnt room to sit beside her he took a seat on a black metal folding chair at her feet

she smiled quickly at himher impish smile she was up to something she then returned her attention to her cellfone that she had been going through when he entered her bedroom  

she wasnt absently finger it certainly wasnt overtly deliberate

he sat  he began to ask her how her night wasif she had rested well

she smiled at him againbigger than the first as a song started from out of her fone

he wasnt listening just yet he was still occupied if she rested or not she hadnt been and he was also still preoccupied with his own thoughtsshaking out the cobwebs of his deep sleep and the stickier cobwebs of his crazedfantastic dreams

then he heard

             . . . Toast to the ones that we lost along the way . . .

                                                                        and he stopped thinking and listened

he didnt know the song

obviously she did

he tried his best to hide the tears that welled in his eyes

when he looked up at her he saw tears her eyes We’re a pair, aren’t we? she said

Yah Quite a pair

then they said nothing more  

just listened

              and listening looked into the others eyes

Maroon 5  Memories

she was the lifeguard  shapely in her red swimsuit  her striking blonde hair pulled back into a heavy ponytail   

Ill take a deep breath he thought hold it throw up a hand go limp and sink towards the bottom

turning lazily as he drifted he saw that the surface looked like a sheet of mercury and he watched it split and boil as she shot through it and kicked down towards him

beyond her heels it went suddenly pale like components of a lavalamp cooling  congealing and as she swam it was like seeing her through a sheet of clean green cellophane

she curved and curled around him slid along his back and shoulders she was smaller than she had looked in the distance 

her hand hooked into his armpitthe crook of her elbow at his throat he felt her brace him hard  kick up  and kicking up they rose in a futuristic love embrace 

                                        a love with all the heat taken out of it

without affection

love of purpose

he didnt want her to be angry with him so hed inhale the green water suddenlyaerated by his escaping breath so she could save him from drowning

thinking about it  he nixed the idea 

there had to be better ways to meet a girl
