The Bus @ 2am

I knew

From the moment the idea hit me

I would regret it.

I could've never said a thing

But I did.

And there it was

The opportunity staring me in the face

I wanted it so much

And now that I had it,

I was second guessing.

I gave in

It was what I wanted

Nothing gets handed to you on a silver platter.

So when the opportunity knocks

I'm going to answer.

And then there was warmth

And happiness

But also

The slowly approaching fear

Of never having it again.

This happiness

Was torn straight from my hands and arms

When it hit 5.

I was home,

When it felt like I'd just left.

I was home,

But my home was with that warmth

And that happiness.

My home was on that bus

Sitting with me

For a lifetime

And

For only three hours.

I feel empty now

I want it to be Sunday again

Someone please

Let it be Sunday.
