Uncommon

Hand in hand they walked

Chattering blissfully, smiles cheek to cheek

Hands intertwined, neither thinking of the time.

Rain fell softly, music played quietly.

Tapping her fingers to the steering wheel she hummed

Mind wandering as the road went on.

He looked at her smiling, squeezing the hand

If only time could stand still, he thought

Her laugh rang out, breaking into his thoughts. 

The song was playing softly, the tune just right

Eyes off the road she turned the knob, 

Ten is a good number, she thought.

The sidewalk is slippery, but they walk,

Unmoved
