Just cus you feel it doesnt mean its there
The sun was bright, its not even mid day yet. The sky is clear and dry, maybe a cloud around there but I cant see it. The roof of the car, old and decayed, has 70’s flower decals green and light green over an off white background. The doors are all damaged, you have to get out from the front. The old volkswagen van is old, but reliant, its still got a heart and soul.
Were driving to pick some copies up. The wind is grazing the old and crusty windows. We put an ashtray on the window to keep it open so air can come in, the heat has become too much. The driver is mumbling and looking in every direction, constantly changing gears 1-2-3-4-5. Shes next to him with her feet on the dashboard, wearing black wayfarers. Her window is closed she doesnt want to ruin her hair, she rests her head like shes asleep but shes very much awake. The wind slightly moving, twitching her hair. Her hair is too crazy to contain, the sides are all over the place they fit her personality.
I close my eyes, concidentally im also wearing wayfarers. white. I remember the rest of the week, i imagine the next few days. Shes beautiful, she is unique. I get angry when someone doesnt appreciate what a wonderful person she really is. She has an undying positive and strong spirit. Shes completely independant, even though she tries not to be. She is to loud and direct with people, but then shes quiet and shy. “weird fishes.”
Shes spent the week relying on me. Shes spent the week relying only on herself. Shes spent the week needing me. I was needed. I know all I need is her. Ive waited in the wings. She moves like shes in charge of the world, but she only wants peace. Her hair moves with ease as she takes every step. The color of her eyes remind you of warmth, I used to get nervous looking at her eyes. Now I have to control myself because i fear ill kiss her. I wish the best would happen. Ive wished the best would happen.
She could be with me, we could be good for each other, she is my best friend. I wish she would stop saying she understands me, don’t you know that each time you say that I fall for you even more. I didnt understand the song “House of Cards” until recently. You need to risk it all. (although you could interpret it as running of with someones wife its really just about risking it all). Ive forgotten about my house of cards, ive been swept under, but if you cant then where will I go?
I was in denial, I wanted to forget her. I tried, I looked! You’ve become my foundation. I cant like anyone because I compare them all to you.
The night before, i preformed the part of a theif, two others were interpreting other characters. She laughs and she comes close. Closer. Ive noticed the difference but has she? Ive noticed the way shes been around me. Will she deny this thing? The thing between us. Maybe its just me, its in my head, I see what I want to see. But ive noticed the changes. You smile more, you come closer, you are more personal, were close now. Last year you laughed more with me, now you can display more emotions with me.
I recall a moment from last year, when you were around, you complimented me, you said i looked thin. You said you didnt like me. There was other people around. You only spoke to me.
You say you dont, but everyone else sees things differently. I feel it, Im feeling it. Im here, I want to be your constant, your my constant.
Shes there in the car, her feet on the dashboard. Im wearing white wayfarers. I see her. I remember, I look back, I imagine. I’ve never met anyone like you. But in the end just because i feel it doesnt mean its there, sadly…
