 home from the movies.

The boy sensed there was something wrong

because of the painful silence they shared

 between them that night.

The girl then asked the boy to pull over

 because she wanted to talk.

 She told him that her feelings had changed

& that it was time to move on.

 A silent tear slid down his cheek as

he slowly reached into his pocket & passed

 her a folded note.

At that moment,

a drunk driver was speeding down that very

same street.

 He swerved right into the drivers seat,

 killing the boy.

 Miraculously, the girl survived.

Remembering the note,

 she pulled it out & read it.

"Without your love, I would die."
