Couple that sat down to listen

I looked up from my guitar, saw you two sitting there.  I would have never imagined you were into the type of music we were playing (sloppily).

Guy was wearing glasses, looked like an IT guy.  Or a lawyer. Maybe ex-military with that short haircut.  Girl was smiling, leaning on his shoulder, oddly enough wearing a pastel shade of pink.  He was wearing blue. 

You probably walked here from home, right?  Not really following your ears, but hearing some crazy music going on somewhere.  Just a nice walk together for a freshly-minted married couple.  No kids for a while yet, but settling down.  No more crazy Fridays. 

Stable income now.  A job now.  Work-related friends now.  A backyard that needs mowing.  A garden that needs tending.  Windows that need cleaning.  Family that needs visiting.

I hope we reminded you of what you felt like just a few short years ago, before average life came a long.  Maybe you even used to listen to music like we were playing.  Maybe it's time you dusted off those records, CDs, and danced around the room like crazy again.
