we were driving in circles
that one night
(red, everything was red:
fire? blood? passion?
no one knows the answer)
i asked for your hand
but you couldn’t hear me
you were so far away
i couldn’t even make out
whether your mouth was laughing or sobbing.
you were so far away
and everything was falling apart
we were driving in circles
you were two feet (two miles) away.
you said something, but
i wasn’t sure what it was
i was about to ask, but
that was when you crashed the car.
