and lost myself in problems not my own.
Then I returned to reality and walked
back to the bus stop.
For just a moment
this small town felt like a city. I think
it was the smell that did it for me.
And then I passed the pizza place,
the one where I finally acknowledged
the lack of a future between us. It was only
weeks ago, but it feels like eternities
have passed since then.
My sandals continued to thud on cement
as I averted my gaze and walked by,
but I didn't hear a thing.
It's something of a relief now,
that I can no longer
watch the parking lot
since I know that car won't be there.
I wish I didn't feel bitter at the word
beautiful. I'll have to put that
dusty worry on a shelf
for now.
