You stood there in the rain
On a Saturday night
With nine years of distance
Lingering in your eyes
And hiding in your smile

Your body brought back
A small piece of home
That I thought I left behind
On that dirt road
A long time ago

All I felt was anger
Because you made yourself familiar
And then walked away
With my youth
And the scent of your blue T-shirt
That you were still wearing
Nine years later
