The earth is especially beautiful
in the summer
we both swam and rode bikes
the trees were full and green.
Running through the fields
playing behind the barn
one very wet, rainy night
changed all that.
We were both driving too fast
the car swerved on the gravel
I yelled and tried to
grab the wheel from you.
The car came to a stop in a cornfield
I heard you calling my name
but we couldn’t find each other
I watched as the ambulance carried me away.
My family will remember who I was.
You will be tortured,
but do not fret
for, I forgive you.
I miss you up here
as much as you miss me
but I know that one day
we will see each other again.
God knows when we will meet
until then, I will watch over you
to make sure you don’t ever
drink and drive again
