Things he said at 1am
“Goodnight” hung in the midnight air
With my car still in drive in front of your house.
I pressed harder on the brakes as you came closer,
In case we crashed.
I pressed harder on the brakes,
But you let go and opened the car door,
And you’re walking up the front steps, through the door, and inside.
Now I sit here alone, with my car still in drive - glad we didn’t crash-
Thinking: I should’ve put the car in park.
