I would love to tell you that today was just like any other, but it wasn’t.
You were there whispering, “I’m still right here.”
I couldn’t see you but I knew it was you
Just waiting for the perfect moment to remind me of my worst days
It's funny that it rained today, the one thing I hate and the one thing that leaves me reminiscing about you
I swear any song that was ever ours, played. Some played twice.
I thought I had deleted The Counting Crows album from my phone
Remember the album I played while we made love in our hotel room last year
Was that love?
I can’t seem to tell or remember now
But I know that Anna Begins was playing while we dozed off afterwards
It played twice in my car today.
I needed black leggings for the outfit I had chosen for my date tonight
The only ones I could find were the ones you bought me.
I put them on and that song you sang me started to play on pandora
I hit next.
It played again as I was leaving to go meet my date
This time, I let it play.
I had lunch at the restaurant today and asked why the toy dinosaur was behind the bar,
they said it was yours.
I asked to see it and then threw it on the ground.
Your co workers mentioned how miserable you have been towards them
I changed the subject.
I went to the gym after and saw you there
I walked behind you all the way out to the parking lot but you didn't notice.
On the way home there was traffic, I figured it was typical for the way my day had been going
It was all due to a tractor trailer who couldn't make a turn
I was proud of his determination
I also realized he had no choice but to make the turn
I watched patiently as he backed up and pulled forward a number of times
It reminded me of myself just trying to make a turn so I could move in the right direction
He made it after approximately two minutes of me waiting in traffic
Though to me it felt like I was sitting in traffic watching a tractor trailer struggle to make a turn for four months The four miserable months I spent just trying to make a turn
