Cali and I arrive,
and the party's
going strong.

Someone's set a
boom box
on a rock,
and the heavy thumps drown out
the peacefulness
of the place.
The peacefulness
that Jackson and I found
the first time we came here
together.

I want to focus
on that time,
not the other time, the last time,
but it's too hard
to keep the memories
from cascading
into my brain.

I shouldn't have come.
It's too soon.

Way
too
soon.

"Cali-"

But I don't get a chance to finish.
A chance to tell her
I shouldn't be here.

"Oh, there he is," Cali says,
grabbing my arm.
Squeezing it.

And then she's off
to greet him.
I watch
and wait,
to see who
he
is.

Lyric!?
