She smiled at me. That’s really all it took.
You and I were already broken, and I was alone, and there she was. It was shiny and new and it wasn’t you. So a distraction became a detour, then a long, dark road to nowhere. I settled down in the darkness and found comfort. The stars are brilliant here, but they always bring me back to watching meteors and satellites sail past with you. Long ago. Way back up the foggy roads that brought me, past burned bridges and decrepit churches to a sunny boulevard where flowers welcomed me home.
