Midnight, Where We Met

Agreed to meet…

Where we’d met before…

Midnite Diner, Ninth and Main—

Two restless hearts,

once reckless sparks,

Swore we’d come back

one day.

You left that night, on the run...

I stayed with the left behind.

Time won't change what's done.

It remembers... and it knows.

Who we were and who we’d become.

Clock struck 12, on a silent night.

A man in the rain, moved into light.

Knife thin smile, dark eyes danced,

and he called... my name.

I saw the hard years... in how he stood.

Time's not mercy, not always good.

If I’d met him... a year too soon,

Or better yet... a year too late—

Might’ve been who I dreamed.

Can't repeat the mistake...

My heart was his... long ago—

... one of his "left behinds."

No longer bought, no longer owned.

I walk away... from the shadows

of that long-gone day.

That long...

gone day...
