crazy love

it wasn't until i was halfway home
on that five hour drive
from her house to mine,
after i had ended it all.

it struck me suddenly
as the radio static cleared,
each mile closer to the city,
sharpening feelings and memories.

it -- it was the song i heard,
the one on the record she played
during one of our first nights together
absorbed on her living room floor.

♪ love, love, love, love
crazy love ♪

for the other two and half hours
i recalled mostly the good times
just like that one night,
when we conceived crazy love.
