I wrote this in February of 2004 when I was feeling nostalgic about Lucas.

I sit here at what once was our “spot”
and contemplate our last conversation
And I think over and over again how that last phrase got to
“Me and my wife had a long talk-and we decided to work things out”
I know I should have been happy but I was sad
I know I should’ve smiled but instead I cried
Of course I hid this very well from you
And the few words I could muster up was
“Well that’s good, I’m happy for you”
And I wonder why when I should’ve been happy for you, my friend
But I was sad for me
I sit down and wonder why
I always end up with the same lost guy
Who doesn’t know what he wants and hurts me tons
Who uses me just as an escape
to get away from his mate
Who never wants to tell me I love you
and thinks of me as anything but the one
who never cares after our tragic love affair fails
Oh, how painful that moment must have been. All the dreams and plans you couldn’t help but let yourself believe were erased in that moment. But no, they aren’t erased for that would be easier. They remain, haunted by the reality they won’t ever be. So painful.

It was but at least some poetry came out of it.
