Huron Love Song

A year since the accident

When the car crashed and the first thing you did was

call me

- and there was nothing I could do

Guided by your voice I walked the night alone

but not really

How simple it was then

I loved you, 

and you, 

me

We talked for hours before I left the country,

I listened to Oasis on the dirt roads and thought only of 

you

Could my heart find its way back to 

you?

Through all this ocean and land separating 

us

When I landed back in New York

I became your National Anthem again

Sung from the crank window of your old pickup truck

What lies did I tell myself to go to sleep with someone else

all those months after?

Those nights on the endless roads past the fields in Huron

I loved you

I love you.
