Brown Eyed Girl

A couple who'd been married for a few years were sitting together listening to music one day… when Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl…on the radio began to play. "It's one of my favorite songs! " He said. Which was something she already knew. "Because, every time I hear it, " he said and she mouthed, "it makes me think of you." "I know it's one of your favorite songs." She said, "But when I hear it I'm always a little frustrated. because I know a different brown eyed girl was the first girl you ever dated." "That first brown eyed girl and I were together a lifetime ago." He nodded. "But now that we're together here's something you should know…" "I shared a couple months in high school with her… but you and I are sharing a life! I chose that brown eyed girl to be my girlfriend… but I chose you to be my wife." It's been many years since that moment… but…to this day…something they both notice is… now, whenever that song comes on the radio…her smile matches his. Sometimes they sit and listen to it quietly… Sometimes they dance…with a dip…maybe even a twirl… and she's been happy knowing all this years she's been his brown eyed girl.
