You Had To Go (Free verse) by peaceseeker
furrowed my brow, hunched my shoulders
and saw you, very possibly, you saw
me as well, as I walked past the taverna.
later, as I inched towards the door
searching, your face smiled at mine.
caught in the headlights of your eyes
my eyes widened and I backed away
into the darkness, with my "friend."
later, while you were onstage singing
and playing your first band gig?
I think you saw me pull up outside.
you turned around and looked out at me
at the end of a song, the next one I knew
by heart, I sang along, sitting outside
in my car, engine off, windows down
my friend smoking, trying to understand.
all I know is I gave you too much
and never really drew the line with you.
I just wanted to be with you, forever
I was always too available for you.
but man, I loved to ride your longboard
it was only a loan, and you had to go
play your longboard and ride your guitar.
