My Favorite Mistake

I drove all night to see your face,

We sat and pondered how to spend the day,

That night we got drunk,

And I carried away,

Did something I wouldn’t in the light of a new day.

When I woke up alone,

I knew it wasn’t right,

I went down stairs and cleaned from last night,

I sat on the couch to get the morning news,

You sat beside and with words abused.

You said we had to talk,

Trembling with fear,

I don’t remember what you said,

But your message I heard clear,

I said are you letting me go,

And there it was the silence that I feared.

I got off the couch and pack my things,

Put them in my truck with out words to you or me,

You asked if I wanted to talk,

And I said there was nothing to talk about,

I hugged you twice,

Then left your house.

I don’t know why it happened,

And till this day I still care,

But I had to leave the way I did,

To keep from shedding one tear.
