A fortunate happenstance.....

crying, screaming, driving....
paying no mind to anyone...
and suddenly I see your smile..
I could only stare..
I rolled my window down to hear you...
You asked me to pull over & talk...
From that moment on..
I've followed you everywhere...
I gave you my card & you promised to call...
Not a day that goes by
since our chance meeting have I stopped thinking of you.
You are my serendipity...
You came in my life at the worst moment...
You came shining in & stealing my heart...
months passed & we soaked up eachother...
learning every detail of our lives..
colors and coffee & eggs..
Steaks, showers &  tattoos....
Mexican & heat & woods...
then there was nothing...
just absence of space..
A void that you left in the hole in my chest...


And when you are gone...
I miss you so much...
Until I look up and see you driving next to me again...
