It's that time of night. When you pass through little towns and all the lights on the main intersections just blink red. I've been driving for hours with the company of a million thoughts in my head. Replaying the days since I've been gone and the hours just before I left. I can't stop thinking you won't be there when I get home. Oh my God what have I done? I left on such a sour note. Not the kind in music but the one on the refrigerator that I wrote. Boy I sure let her rip all those cruel things I let slip. I want to drive faster and hurry home to you. But I'm moving slowly because I'm not sure what to do. I want to hold you and kiss you, love you tell you how wrong I've been. But now I'm pulling in the driveway and I can see the note taped to the side door. I don't even have to read it. I know what it says "NEVER AGAIN" And I drop down with a spiritles thump and hang my head to cry. Wishing you would come home and knowing because I was a selfish fool you have gone and said your last Good-bye. Lexi Hilife
