Waking up in the hospital I remember seeing the yellow hair nothing else was vivid in my mind my body hurt and I had a cast on my leg The flashbacks kept me up at night I remember that I could have died I stayed in bed for almost two weeks and cried almost everyday I was lucky thinking back I could have died you werent so lucky you had passed away leaving me alone to face this pain on my own the newspapers called it reckless and irresponsible driving but I call it a miracle cause Im a live when the fact is I could have died the guilt is there because you didnt live I am sad because your life had to end I couldnt believe that I got into the car with you I should have said stop your not able to drive I remember reaching for the keys but you told me to shut up and get in you were driving fast and I started screaming at you and that tree appearing out of nowhere I closed my eyes and prayed to God as the car smashed into the trunk it grew dark and silent and I fell asleep blood trickled down my neck I remember waking up in the hospital I asked for you but the doctor said you had died I must have cried the entire night then I saw something familar the yellow hair of the angel that saved my life the same angel that appeared that night in front of me and said that I was going to be alright
