I went to a movie tonight but you weren’t there but I could feel your presence to the right of me. But I went with my family mom and dad; my brother and sister are not home. I remember how we’d go every weekend because you didn’t have a car and you so-so-ed that when you did get your license you’d take me somewhere else nice. You never did. But being with you was enough for me. So I didn’t mind. And when the movie talked about love, I pushed my hat over my eyes and tried not to think about you. And you are 550 miles away, not thinking of me.

I’m drinking Chai and I remember the night you picked me up from Borders and you asked me for some of mine because you never tasted it before. And I gave you some and I was just happy because you were in front of me in a parking lot in front of Borders drinking my Chai at 10:00 at night. And that was enough for me.
