a song that,
as a presumptuous teen,
I once belted out
of the window of my best
friend's car, defying
sound as we sped headlong
into the night.
then,
the song
made me feel
that I was everlasting;
that life would run its course
(and then some), as it was
surely intended,
and love would be something
that felt like the earth falling away
from beneath my feet.
now,
it just makes me
wistful,
and full of desperate remembrance.
