peanutsontheplane

and this stranger sat beside meeh with the most captivating smile
it grabbed hold of the corner of my eye but i didnt raise my head
i was otherwise occupied
i smiled and continued texting while i still could
i knew once the plane was ready to take off there would be no more of that
and sure enough there she was

"maam, i am going to need you to turn that off"
i looked up and smiled and did as i was bid

a deep soothing voice says "she sure told you"
we laughed and carried a conversation
at some point my eyes closed
and i dreamed of us dancing the flight away
up and down the aisle with dips and spins
and he held my waist just right
i wanted to melt right there in his arms
and with the last dip

he leaned in

i closed my eyes

"maam, im going to need you to turn off your cellular phone"
i snapped out of it and turned off my phone
i looked beside meeh and there he was
eating peanuts on the plane
i leaned back with a smile
ear buds in

...takeoff...
