bill of particulars

And California seemed to draw you like a siren
From a postcard in a letter
Or a frame of film melting



i prayed for our happy ending.

i wasn't specific enough. all the signs pointed to him: the statue on a nightstand in jersey, the street we were looking for during a road trip, a wedding invitation to the city by the bay. i ignored them all and he found another on the east coast. i should have prayed for our happy ending... together.

Song of the Day: Under You (by Better Than Ezra)
You moved in slow degrees,
A sudden memory
You're a Leonard Cohen song
And every now and then I swear I'd see you standing
On a sidewalk, in a restaurant
In a taxi passing by
