Meredith, I'm inhaling smoke
& dreaming about you again.
What would your parents think?
They were right about me all along.
..that's okay, I was right about them too.
Meredith, I'm sleeping in fits & starts.
Peering round corners,
sitting in empty parking lots.
I see you there..
Wild-eyed drunken angel,
jumping from moving cars.
Screaming profanities
under cover of darkness.
Meredith, I'm comparing our scars.
You let me down only after I threw you away.
Tossed like an empty bottle at the head,
I think you know which one I mean.
Meredith, never since has someone else's
insanity been more complimentary. No need
to drive each other crazy, it would have been
redundant.
Meredith, I'm leaving you behind again.
Separated by thousands of miles
and millions of words you won't ever read.
I've saved our pet names and plans and pills and promises.
Hotel rooms and secrets and love made in quiet while everyone slept.
Meredith, my heart's last great adventure,
I'm saying goodbye and taking you with me.
