Can I tell you something?

I know it’s crazy but it’s nothing like how it is inside my mind.

And I’m starting to give up on pretending,

I don’t not like you.

in the beam of headlights

a flash of motion darts across dark asphalt.

brakes slam,

on your front steps.

It’s peaceful there.

There are no cars  

or stomping feet.

There are no dishes
