90 miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving, I don't know why
So many questions, I need an answer
2 years later you're still on my mind


"If it's going to be shot gun like that," she begins.

I hang on to her every word. Hungry in anticipation for her answer. I told her how I felt. That was the hard part, right? Now I'm not so sure. Maybe this all was a big mistake.

I breathe in deeply, trying not to let my nervousness get to me. I look into her eyes. They're clouded. With mine I try to persuade her to give me a chance.


What ever happened to Amelia Earhart?
Who holds the stars up in the sky?
Is true love once in a lifetime?
Did the captain of the Titanic cry?


"Then I choose George," she finishes.

I quickly look away. Try to hide my pain and keep a little bit of my dignity. She sees right though it. I try to get angry. I succeed. I lash out at her and tell her that I can't be around for superficial chit chatter when I'm really thinking why she didn't give us a chance. She says it's not fair. She doesn't want things between us to be that way.


Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you


I walk away. I wore my heart on my sleeve and I got burnt. Why doesn't she want me? Why doesn't she even want to try? Maybe this is all my fault. I forced it. I wanted the truth and I got it. Now I must deal with the consequences.


The End
