it was raining the day i told him.
the car had finally rumbled to
life and we were racing down the open
road to a whole new world
of possibilities.
of new love
and new memories.
it was a new path and
it tasted good.
but i glanced back, something
you always hear not to do.
i glanced back and was filled
with visions of you.
the windshield was foggy and as
wet as my eyes
because i thought i knew what i wanted,
and i was so foolish to think that wasn't you.
i screamed for him to stop
and he veered off the road.
and when he looked at me
i didn't see you
and i so badly wanted it to be you.
i told him i was sorry
and he asked me why.
my reply was short and simple and vague,
but he understood.
"it's him."
