The Car

Going there I looked out the car window and stared at nothing but the clouds in the sky, listening to songs I wish I could dedicate to you.

Going there I looked out the car window and stared at nothing but the trees passing by, as if trying to find you in them.

Going there I looked out the car window but not for long, as the view of your face is far more entertaining.


I know my eyes seemed glued to every part of your face as if analyzing every detail before it’s too late.

I know my eyes seemed glued to every part of your hair as if trying to memorize every strand of every curl.

I know my eyes seemed glued to your eyes because they stared back at me with such intense emotion.


I know my eyes looked into your eyes and saw my future go up in flames, burning bright with all the things I wanted but could never keep.


Oh, I looked out the car window, my heart beating at being caught staring.

Oh, I looked out the car window, wondering if you found it weird or intriguing.

Oh, I looked out the car window, hoping you were still looking at me.
