I hear the buzzer bellowing at me to wake up
Today will be last and only day
I turn and reach to hug you
But to my dismay I only find sheets
Do I really have to get up?
I try to turn the other way
And just fall out of bed
The hardwood is cold
A slum around the house
Some how I manage to get ready
I get my keys and go outside
I get in my car and just thwack my head on the steering wheel
I start the car and drive to pick you up
I should be happy
But I not
No kiss
And I'm not stunned
I don’t know why I expected on in the first place
You get in my car and we just drive
You put you feet on my dashboard
You stick your hand out the window
And you sway it up and down
And it makes me think
I wish I could fly
We stop at Wendy’s to get some food
I’m not really hungry
But I order anyways
Combo number six spicy chicken
We have so much in common
And it hurts so much
As I choke down the food
I see you nibbling at yours
As you look up at me
Right over the soggy bun
And smile
I wish I could cry
You couldn’t finish you drink
So I told you to take it in the car
That we could finish it together
You smile
I love that smile and would do anything to see it everyday
We drive around some more
I turn on the radio
Its you favorite song
And I liquefy over you voice as you sing along
I take you home
And as you wave goodbye
It hits me
This will be the last time I see you
I couldn’t drive away
I just sat there until I turned back
I gave you one last smile
Hopping you would never forget my face
I took off
I turn up the radio
I have to pull over
It’s the song that reminds me of you
And I break down
“I’ll write you a song…and it won’t be hard to sing… it will be a natural anthem…”
I couldn’t finish the song
I took out the CD and turned on the radio
I start to drive again
I make it to my house
And just sit in the driveway
As I look at the set and rub it
It’s still warm from you
I take the Wendy’s cup
And sip the last of your drink
I get out and smoke a cigarette
This is the end
I will never see you again
You will forget
And I won’t
The life of a dying romantic
Never has a happy ending
