Car Crashes

by Megan Guimbellot

It took a car crash and a half for me to realize you wouldnt save me anymore//and everytime i remember you i feel a little bit of sweet sadness in my stomach and my throat,,,,but there is a fine line between needing and wanting/// a line we somehow overlooked///overlooked, overstepped, and shattered into too many pieces to be put back together but not for lack of effort.

I called in for comfort today and was surprised to hear not your voice but his//exactly 194 minutes later i was looking into green-brown eyes that i maybe could have thought were yours but they were not...there were flecks of grey in the green and though unaccustomed i enjoyed them nonetheless//(its amazing what a quiet gaze and soft words can bring)//his eyes were not your eyes nor are the breaths in my bed falling from between your lips and im starting to believe i like it better this way...

car crashes tell you a lot about life. odd i know...but there's something beautiful in the severity of the outcome that we can't foresee so much. your baked goods are crisp here.
