That small strip of complete darkness between the headlights
      and the taillights of the car in front.
Only the ones you love can hurt you, with one word make a thousand tears fall.
    
      I'm making a collage.
Taking smart things, quotes, words and memories...placing them into an envelop in a black box in the back of a       closet behind a locked door in my mind.

I think of him, I think of her, how their minds work, how they work together--perfection.
      I strive for that, we all do...at sometime.
A single raindrop causing an earthquake. A single heartbeat, causing everything to stop.
      
      I hope he remembers how it felt. I hope he wants it back...just a little, just enough to make a difference.
A single word causing the heart to break...
      
      You stuck a crowbar in and pulled the gap just a bit wider. Ibuprofen doesn't help the pain.

  Sitting in the rain, pants soaked through. A drop on my leg, a drop on my nose one on my elbow and a single raindrop on one of my toes...and a drop on my lower lip, a kiss from mother nature.

       A warm dog dreaming on the floor. Toes twitching, eyes fluttering.
Crickets, stars. Wet paint, a crow perched.

      Just remember me.
