i wouldn't believe
it's a coincidence
that after almost a year
you suddenly showed up
in places i am currently
found late in the afternoon
and when the sun's ready
to set down anytime soon,
i know it's you
your car plate, the only
alphanumeric combo
i've memorized other than
my passwords
for the past three years.

so you got a new car now
and a new girl too
sitting on the passenger side
feeling lucky and comfy
exchanging jokes
and laughing with you
you're driving 'round town
stopped at the traffic light
when it's twenty-two
but no flashback hit you
so maybe now, you're
completely someone new

on rainy days
i think of you
and how we soaked
our pajamas
under the drizzle

it wasn't black nor white
it was a set of spinning colors
and dancing lights
that became my escape
and for the first time
i had control over my own peace.
