end credits

you know when a movie ends and the heroine winds up alone. and she walks off down the city street, wind blowing, hands grasping at the lapels of her coat, pulling them closer to her. the music begins to swell in the background i don't know, something perfect that fits the moment like the dumbing down of love by frou frou or wonderwall by ryan adams, and her stride turns to one of slow motion. and you kind of wonder to yourself what's going to happen to her now, since the movie didn't have a happily tied up ending?

replace the heroine with me.
the city street with a mall.
and yeah, i've been in a mood like that all day.
