conversation in a car 2

Before
the light
changed
she moved closer
and touched
the back of his neck
the way she thought
he liked it
with just
the tips
of her fingers she thought
about the jasmine
tea and something
else the way
he would have
gone home then
the way
he would have put
the key
into the door
the light
changing
as he walked
through.

were gone tried
to find you but
