I see her slim figure approach the door as my finger reaches for the bell
She steps lightly in her sandals to welcome me in as a smile graces my face
We glance at each other for a moment as unspoken words flow between us
Tonight isn't just another day in our lives, today is the last day of the
world
Let me change, she says lightly as I sit down upon a sofa
I reminisce with my head cushioned by pillows
She emerges moments later with a simple outfit gracing her body
She's beautiful as always, but more so tonight
We walk to the car as I press lightly on the remote and the locks disengage
I can't believe it's the last time, I think as I start the car
I look to my right and see her sitting there and a smile passes over her face
We may not have forever, but for a moment, time doesn't matter
Where to? I inquire.. Just drive, she replies.. and so I do
The road curves as the headlights illuminate sight after sight
We discuss everything that's happened up till now and everything that may
happen
The radio comes on and it just adds to the symphony that is our voices
Distance means nothing this evening, our destination remains unchanged
The night flies by in a haze of spoken and unspoken meaning
Hours pass as the sky turns from onix to topaz
The car rolls into her driveway and I gradually bring it to a stop
I shut off the engine slowly and step lightly out of the car
She slips her purse over her shoulder and opens the side door
I walk with her to the entrance for the last time
I'll miss you I say, yet my words are lost in her embrace
I can't say anything, I doubt words could express my feelings
I walk away slowly treasuring the last few hours
My hand reaches in my pocket for the keys, I open the car and rev the engine
One last drive I think as the headlights arc across the road
I push on the accelerator and race away from opportunity
It sound's like you blame yourself, like you're an idiot... honestly, I think
you lost nothing... i guess it's all perspective, meaning, relative to the
perceived, an interesting poem...
If it was not meant to be, then so be it, yet an opportunity is never lost until
you give up completely. (or factors out of your hands take over)
