out
we sat in my car.
the rain falling over top of us.
our breath fogging up the glass, our only escape.
your crying made it hard to think. i gripped the steering wheel as each sob became harder and more painful.
i looked over at you, who were you?
i had ran out of your life so long ago that i couldn't even remember why i was here in the first place or who i was even here with in that matter.
your tears started to finally disperse and i could sense words were about to explode into the silence, so i braced myself, gripped the wheel one last time, before i decided to look over at this stranger, you.
"how long have you been out of this?"
for quite sometime, months actually.
my words impacted you. your fists clenched.
"you told me i was different."
i thought you were, i am uncontrollable over this.
again, i felt the blow to your chest but instead of your fists clenching, you reached for the door handle. before leaving my life forever you turned to me
"you told me you'd never forget me."
and the door opened, the rain brought in a cool breeze.
i watched you get out, not only out of my car, but out of my mind, and more importantly, out of my heart.
