Summer Jamz: Shani- One in a Million

When you think summer, you often think summer tunes. You know, there's always that one song that you remember clubbing out to every night with your BFFs, or the song you and your summer flame danced to on that magical evening, or the handful of heaven sent tracks that got you through the most excruciatingly boring eight weeks of your life. Well, in the spirit of estival giving, here's a little ditty to get your waistlines moving.

Out of the Blue

I see you from a distance

And almost turn away

As I get on board bus number eight

And try to find a place,

When suddenly I find myself arrested

In the spotlight of your gaze.

Damn child! Those eyes...

I shift my gaze away from yours

And try to pretend

That nothing really happened;

That I hadn't noticed anything.

But I know that you know

What I know I can't deny-

Damn it's all there

Written in those eyes.

I take a seat and stare out the window

Wordlessly and without second glance at you.

But the streets that snake past,

With the people and buildings and trees

That adorn them,

Barely leave an imprint.

Damn! Those eyes eyes are etched into mine.

You're somewhat older

And not really my type.

...But a rose by any other name

And all that...

Damn, those eyes!

You reach your destination

And for you the bus ride comes to an end.

You step off and out of my life.

Two very different trajectories

That happened to intersect

For a brief moment.

I return to the mundane and familiar

With a sigh.

If I were the smoking type,

I think I'd need a cigarette right about now.

Damn. What a pair of eyes.
