# "A pain stabbed my heart, as it did every time I saw a girl I loved who was going the opposite direction in this too-big world."-j.k.

that last night, I

realized

nothing changed before I did.

I walked her to her car and watched as she drove off,

brake lights illuminating the distance

between my house

and 5th st.

she signaled, made the same left turn she had thousands of times before, and was gone.

and I haven't seen her since.
