Hesitation In Vain

on the way home, i change the new map to the longest scenic route though my Sweets is waiting for me, i cannot find myself to punctually return i stop at a newly built rest area because my hypertension is expressing the mess i made will not go away like my atrial flutter it just sits in wait like the many times before my Sweets snaps me out of my fantasy world with a text always the realist half, she gets on me a bit and asks if i am close to home now i reply by telling her a multicolored lie about my bladder and a harsh deluge she replies with an 'unhappy' emoji, so i start the car, cut on the air, and continue my unfortunate trek back to reality rental cars and women, tsk tsk, forever the realists i make it back on time by the skin of my teeth my Sweets runs to me with open arms and a smile in my ear she whispers 'i was preparing to kill you' i reply by whispering in her ear with a sigh of pure contentment 'i know'
