Letters To Her Car
Letters To Her Car
I used to get up in the mid of winter before she would leave for work
And there on the frost laced windows of her car, is where I would leave my mark
I’d tell her about the day I had planned, or just a simple reminder
That no matter what this life had in store, in my heart is where I could find her
She was a beautiful thing. An angel bequeathed to us, placed here by a mightier hand
Though mine for only a little while tis but the blink of an eye for one that’s eternal
We all know that were here for a time, our minutes borrowed from the hour glass sand
Our hearts though two, were twined as one, as if born from something fraternal
And though her touch in this world, l will not feel again, I can remember that this life is
fleeting
And sometime soon, as the immortal would count it, once again I’ll feel her heart beating
When the sand in Chronos’s glass runs its course for my life and Lachesis can cut her line
Ill No longer be held by the flesh of this world, and I’ll be unfettered by this thing called time
But for now I keep searching for destinies book, a different canvas to pen my hearts meaning
For that thing in the driveway that she once drove is now useless to put forth my word
What I want for now is a window to heaven to speed to her the thoughts I’ve been keeping
That I found you once, and though it cost me my life to find you again that price I will afford
