She left me waving 

The red jeep rolling away

Wishing she would stay


Tears rolled down his cheeks

 My feelings collapsed with guilt

I needed to stay


I am drawn to him

The red jeep pulled in once more

Tears no more, she stayed


The author's comments:

This is a simple poem about the events of an ending love story between two people. One staying behind and the other leaving, but as the other leaves they both realize that still want to be together.

Favorite Quote:
Her heart was an open book with beautiful pages and detailed lettering. She wanted people to read her story in hopes that it would make them write their own. Instead, every person who came across the pages of her heart ripped out their favorite story and took it with them. They folded back pages and bent up corners. They signed their name with sloppy writing and with a simple 'goodbye'. This book is now tucked away in the darkest parts of her, because no one wants to read a tragic story with a bad ending.

I really liked this. very simple but touching. 💖
