Look, the leaves

i missed you

the second i turned my back

wondered if you'd go about your day

like i hadn't been there

at all

your car speeds up

my heart too

i know that when i step out

this may be it

i could stand

talk about nothing but

"What?" and "Nothing"

all night

until we both admit

we don't want to be there

and we'd rather

be somewhere that is not

hands over mouths

hushed voices

confused faces

pointing fingers

judging

things they don't know
