In a movie

I was listening to music at work today (we can do that kinda stuff). And it made me feel like I was in a movie. You know, when everything slows down (maybe towards the end of the movie after you've had a big fight because of a secret that you finally had to tell) and you really start to think about life, all of a sudden I would have this huge epiphany where I would realize that the guy I was seeing, but dumped because I just didn't think we could really make it work (you know, I didn't like how he slurped soup and he thought I was ugly in the morning...that kinda thing), was my one true love and so, with the music still playing, I would slow-mo rip my headphones out, not even push my chair back into my desk (which I always do) and run to my love (let's say he's in the building...it's cold outside), I'd run really really fast (probably down a couple flights of stairs and through crowds of people carrying things like clipboards and stacks of manila folders [and they'd look at me in bewilderment as I burst through their posse and flung papers everywhere...not on purpose of course]), and then I'd see him, through a long hallway (doing something nonchalant like chatting to a fellow co-worker), and I'd stop (really out of breath, but still trying to look hot) and he'd feel my presence so he'd look up at me, and we'd have that look of 'I know' on our faces, even though nobody ever knows. I would start to run toward him (while the music would start getting really loud and passionate), and when I reached him, I would stop and then we'd start making out.

This was the song I was listening to that inspired that lovely script...call me if you want to make it into a movie. The song is called 'Low Rising' by The Swell Season
