drove around and around in the pick up today
ended at Destiny
talking with Bambino in the car
playing him music
kissing...

it reminded me of sitting in the driveway outside of my parents' house
in whatever car
"my" car
their car...
at 3 am
2 am
midnight

late
later than i should be
should be asleep
all the stars out

having to stay awake late at night because it's the only time that was mine

having to live in the margins of someone else's life

and that's why i'm leaving...

that's why i've always been leaving

looking for a blank page to make my story in

i think i've collected enough now, yeah?

it's time to start writing.
