Background Music

They play on the radio constantly
Each time I smile
A knowing smile because I’m flying
Like a butterfly who just got its wings
I know each song last for only three minutes
But those three minutes, make me forget
Forget about everything
And so I close my eyes and listen
Just listening, nothing else
The sound of the car engine is clear
We pass by many sites
Too many to count
They blend in with the music
Everything fades away
And so these discs, which are here in front of me
Remind me about those good times
When I could just forget
and live in the moment.
