A poem for The Traveler

Board the bus at 2:15 am

In my seat

My luggage next to me

Out the window, your figure fades

Suddenly 13 years worth of escapades fill my brain

I'm on my way to a different country

Far away

I'm letting you go

I'm freeing myself

From any shadow of doubt

I sometimes look back in mind

Closing my eyes thinking

Why me?

I should have known not to go this far

Love's a dangerous game

I'll take all the blame

I should have known

I'm okay making my way through airport security
