while driving home today
a song came on the radio
an old forgotten tune
but somehow the words
still tumbled from my lips
and filled my soul with a smile
i stopped at a red light
and glanced at the car
sitting quiet next to mine
a flash of brilliant light
and my heart clenched
as the world hesitated
and i watched your mouth
sing silent words of this song
the song to which we shared
a moment always to be
and then the music faded
the light turned green
and the stranger drove away
