When they looked into one another's eyes.
Something was missing, it was time to say goodbye.
His smile formed a pout.
She knew what that was all about.
He was having a reunion with his old love.
He was re-living all that romantic stuff.
While he was out doing who knows what, she was burying her dad.
The last words her father said was "Please sweetheart, do not be mad."
She was never able to figure out his last words until now, and she cried.
He didn't give a d*mn about what she had lost.
But now, he will pay the cost.
They never saw each other again.
She moved far off, but her heart did mend.
She eventually fell in love for the second time.
What he didn't know was that love was her crime.
One day when the time is right, she will tell him all about her reckless night.
Nobody ever talks about what she has done.
It stays in her nightmares, like the midnight run.
