I know I see you, through the darkly colored glass.
Your breath steams the window.
You rest your forehead against the cold glass
And I know that you’re sighing.
“Open up” you mouth to me to roll down the window.
Tears swell in my eyes,
But I finally roll down the frosty window.
You reach in to try to touch my cheek but I turn away.
“I couldn’t see you anymore.
It’s too late for us.
You were the one who said you wouldn’t step in,
Promised you wouldn’t make waves.
You messed everything up though,
Swept me off my feet, sure.
Made me feel happy inside,
All the pains seemed lesser around you.
But you promised it wouldn’t get this thick;
And look.
Look what happened.
I wasn’t supposed to fall in love with you.
We were just supposed to be friends.
I was with someone else.
You knew that, too.”
You didn’t say a word after I stopped talking,
But started shivering from the frigid air.
I nodded my head towards the passenger side
And you walked around the front of the car.
After a couple of minutes warming up,
You finally spoke.
“I’m sorry” were the only words that could come out.
I closed my eyes and felt your hand slide over to mine.
You held my hand for what seemed like forever.
I didn’t want you to let go.
You told me that everything will be ok.
With a squeeze of my hand,
You leaned over and went to kiss my cheek.
I didn’t turn away this time.
You lightly brushed your lips closer,
Closer to mine.
You kissed me slowly at first, cautiously.
I knew then you’d never hurt me again.
The kiss grew more passionate and deeper,
My eyes welled up with tears once again,
But I wasn’t sad.
I knew then everything really would be ok.
When the kiss ended, you opened your eyes
And smiled.
“Let’s get out of here.”
And we left, together, forever.
Your breath steams the window.
You rest your forehead against the cold glass
And I know that you’re sighing.
“Open up” you mouth to me to roll down the window.
Tears swell in my eyes,
But I finally roll down the frosty window.
