Your car was parked outside your parents' house.

I just happened to notice.
I just happened to be driving
to my parents' house
and thinking it was funny you still had that same car.

We would drive without a destination
we would put the seats back.

where I wrote that note reminding myself,
"remember, please, remember this feeling."

We would play that same song.

I thought about calling but
we're grown now and
have our own dogs.
our own lawns.


I hate to think that none of it was worth it but
here we are
in the same town, first time in 10 years and
I still remember the song but I

can't remember your smile.
