A Little Free Verse
At a strange hour
4:35 am, mountain standard time.
We were friends then.
It was February 17th, 1998.
You didn't know it was my parent's anniversary.
I didn't know what was about to happen.
It's been 6 years now.
I don't regret what I did.
I only regret that it didn't last.
And now we're friends again.
Except that I can't be your friend anymore.
Not when I gave you everything.
And you gave it back.
I've been trying to get back there.
Since 2001 when you left.
And you keep coming back.
At a strange hour.
In a differen't time zone.
On a differen't day.
Once I hoped we would cross paths.
At the right time, when all the planets aligned.
Like our initials in the sky that night.
4:35 AM, Mountain Standard Time.
We became lovers then.
It was February 17, 1998.
You didn't know it was our first anniversary.
I didn't know what was about to happen.
I didn't know I would never love again.
