Crepuscule

When I wrote this, I asked a friend to read it and asked her what she thought about it. She said, it hurt. So in case it actually does, I have a disclaimer. I won't take responsibility for any feelings this would stir up. haha! 

We were in the car

I was staring out the window

Watching the life outside pass by

The people, the cars, the establishments closing down 

There was a melancholy there

And in between us, somewhere

The silence made me feel peaceful and calm

Despite my head and my heart being at war. 

We were on the highway

I didn't know how fast we were going

But I didn't want us to stop, I was enjoying the ride

We both know where we're going

Yet I wasn't sure how to sort my feelings

At one point, we had to slow down

Until we had to come to a stop

And it's almost clear to me. 

My stomach's in knots, and I got tongue-tied 

I wanted to say something, I couldn't 

Then I thought, won't you say something? 

I'm afraid we'd fall apart if I did

I laid my head on your shoulder

Wanting to steady the beat of my heart

Wanting to take my mind off of things

Reminding myself how I want to keep you. 

We were in the car

And I couldn't tell you that I love you

I just stared out the window 

Watched the life outside pass by like it was everything we could be

Because I didn't tell you that I love you 

But I do, I love you. 

Let me know what you think?
