I still can hear the drifting cars
and burnouts in my ears.
feels like it was just yesterday
where red lights lasted years
skies were full of rubber--smoked,
sun was cold and hot
a yesterday from months before
I couldn't have forgot
I feel your hand collapsing mine,
the jokes and many laughs
comradery amongst the rain,
perfume, cologne, race gas
I just had slipped up days before
and told you my heart fell
sun set and woke, so many jokes,
cars ran parallel.
a yesterday I won't forget,
you took my hands in yours
the sun hiding behind the clouds
few raindrops on our pores
while pistons move in cylinders
two cars line up somewhere
crankshafts like jacks in boxes,
and wind blows through our hair
you looked at me like time was lost
while friends sat watching speed
my heart beat faster than the
boosted car that I heard lead
surrounded by our favorite things
a few people that we knew
I saw a smile fill your eyes
when you said "I love you."
