The Drive

(A/N: This is not really about Camren per se, but I fell in love with my best friend too. And I wrote this over a year ago when I finally had my closure. I just thought you'll like this emo poem. Also, Halsey's song "Sorry" just perfectly sums up what I was feeling at that time.)

I've been driving for hours and miles to come and see you.

Just because this time I can, and I really want to.

You've got me speeding like a lunatic breaking a rule or five.

Hearing the sirens, seeing the signs, still ignoring every traffic light.


I'm driving blind: head first to the unknown.

Hoping that after I reach my destination, I'll finally have YOU alone.

The same place, the same time, breathing the same air.

This is our time: You and I. We'll finally be together.


You beam: "It's been a while!"

And I blush thinking how I missed your smile.

I didn't know it was possible to love you even more.

I feel you in my veins, reverberating to my very core.



I knew I loved you immensely when we're apart.

But our proximity intensifies the tempest in my heart.

It's only in this moment that I can fully comprehend how much

By the way my body betrays me the moment I feel your touch.


Your words echoed, and it was loud

But I didn't hear a sound.. 

You repeat: "I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE!" 

I hear ringing, something boring inside me, and it stung.


I wear my mask, hiding defeat: "Are you happy?"

I can accept it, as long as you are. Even if it's not with me.

You had that look, I've never seen before: Blissful.. contented..

"Yes." It was written in your eyes. That was all I needed.



Those were the same eyes that looked everywhere else but mine.

But there was no bitterness, nor pain. I'm going to be just fine.

We had one last embrace before I get back in my car.

I've loved you for all these years, I've done it from afar.


It's time to turn on the engine and drive back to reality, 

Sober and anew, rid of you.. my drug, my own personal brand of ecstasy.

Maybe one day, I'll find someone too.

But now, my heart is my own and it no longer belongs to you.
