We met.
Avery Buntin Feb 2021
Like two cars on the highway going in different directions.
You were building your life, and I was still searching for the meaning of mine.
Although we could only meet for a second or two,
It sure had felt like the life I had wished to spend with you.
In those few seconds, our eyes met almost instantly.
I could picture warm summer nights on the lake
and cool autumn evenings with a fire.
All I had needed at that moment was you
And just like that, you were gone as quick as you had come.
I had accepted that I would never get to experience those nights with you
And continued on my way.
always wear your seatbelt

I'm Sorry
Avery Buntin Jan 2021
Won’t you look at the mess you made?
The lights go out,
I come apart.
The sun rises,
And so do I.
But in the night,
When I’m alone,
Your shadow stands over me
And offers a sad smile
A plastic sorry
...
And I forgive you.
Every
Single
Time.
