Maybe...

by Twan - Aries

Arrival time: 7:15
Through the night I looked down into the scene
I opened my book and tried to read
reasoned with everyone as I started to bleed
I thought back to my last time
I left the city
And I broke slowly within, and felt too shitty
She ran after me
Begged me to stay
but I knew if I did
she'd hate me today
The plane taxied in toward the blackest of nights
And I looked down, and as I did lost sight
I left the plane, looked into the sky
Come back, it seemed to say, then die!
I shook my head twice and it seemed to clear
but my head screamed and returned my fear
I walked through the line toward the terminal to leave
but someone grabbed my coat, plucking at my sleeve
I turned to my left, he stood to my right
he looked at me and suddenly, I felt tight
He said "you dropped this" and handed me my stub
and I felt like an ass, a real grub
I gave him a 5 and he walked away happy
His Christmas was good, mine was crappy
She walked up then, and I said as we leaned foward to kiss
"Maybe I went through hell, but now I'm in bliss."
And I adjusted my suit, and gave her my hand
And we left the airport, as only we can
