Tinted Silverado

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

A southern gentlemen

mixed with a misguided soul,

you were unlike anyone I'd met before.

 

You said things I wasn't used to 

and my heart turned toward you

in emailed paragraphs.

 

We kissed in your tinted Silverado

and it felt like home

while my house was falling apart.

 

My heart has been

drug through the mud;

not as rugged as it once was.

 

There was passion there 

in the passenger side 

of your pickup truck. 

 

Your touch drove me crazy

and your words

made me spin my wheels.

 

Better buckle up

because your lead foot

ain't slowing down. 

 

Until I put on the brakes 

almost too late 

before we collided. 

 

You looked into my eyes 

at a time I was feeling invisible

and made me feel something. 

 

I thought it could be love 

but in the end, 

I just needed to feel alive.
