The One That Got Away
I want to kiss you.
I want you to tell me it’s okay.
I want you to say what you’re thinking.
I want to push you off a train as it’s speeding over a bridge with a hundred-foot drop.
I want to do to you what you did to my heart and leave you crippled and bleeding in a ditch on a back road in Arkansas.
I want to hold you.
I want to tell you you’re the only one for me.
I want to hang out with somebody else and forget about you for one damn minute.
I want to smooth the rough look on your young face.
I want to hold you close until we turn to dust and flowers grow where we used to lie.
I want to unsay what I said.
I want you to undo what you did.
I need you back.
