61. Alex & Dra

If I could go back in time,
I’d sit in the November chill of your car in the parking lot
And pray instead this time that the car would not start
I’d fold my hands to match my origami heart and beg to stay in your old-ass car a little longer
Just to have you a little bit longer
I want to hear your excuses just one last time, tell me why this time — just this one time — you 
    couldn’t figure out how to drive
I’d sit in that parking lot all night if it meant sitting there with you
I’d sit on the curb in the cold, waiting for a tow
I wish your stupid car had never started and that we were still sitting in that parking lot, the sky     
    permanently frozen in the yellow-blue haze before the sun drops out of the sky
