I have traveled on before
But this time things are complicated.
I can’t seem to look forward to coming back this way.
For the happy memories feel so far away as if it was all a dream.
And not reality at all.
But I can see the tire marks as evidence of how I drove back and forth
Not ready to go back and face what I left behind just days ago.
To have to answer the questions I wanted to leave unanswered for once.
Like everyone else that left before.
