*** Thunder Road
I sat in the car tonight and watched as the street lights came on.
I feel your absence and it pains me to think that you can walk away so easily.
Bruce Springsteen was playing as you pulled the door open and ducked out into the pouring rain.
Thunder Road
The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again, I just can't face myself alone again
It was not a good night for us. Not a good week truth be told. The connection just wasn't there. We made love in the shower and snuggled together as we watched movies, but somehow we never got beyond superficial.
Don't run back inside, darling, you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're alright
Oh, and that's alright with me
And then you were gone, your head bowed against the rain. Not looking back. I wanted to throw my door open and run after you in the rain. To grab you and shake you. I wanted to be able to reach the deepest part of you again. I wanted to beg you to stay with me a little longer. To unruffle your feathers, to make you feel me, really feel me, but more and more I cannot find the right words.
And so I let you go. A dark figure that blended and finally faded into the growing shadows. I sat in my car and listened to the music. I watched as the raindrops danced and fell; lovers entwining and separating as they slid down my windshield.
I don't know where to go from here.

Good story, wow.

I feel this part was already worth it. As for Springsteen.. you gotta love the Boss. I love Thunder road and can sing along. I have most of his sings. You reminded me to listen to him again :-)
