Description
driving through the past
sitting in this car
this bucket seat
driving this car
same car
all these years
driving down this road
driving this car
same road
same road
a million times
before
i remember
you used to live
down that street
years ago
oh, so long ago
better days
i would drive this car
drive this road
look forward
to your company
your kitchen
conversation
i remember
where you used to live
you used to live
used to
ten years ago
you lived
and anyone
could see you
now
i'm the only one
who sees you
dead
gone
all these years
driving this car
down this road
this long road
same road
same road
missing you
wishing
you were
my destination

I love this, I know it and it speaks to me--wow!!!
Whoa! that just hits and hits hard!
lovely written!
So very touching. Sad and touching.. and beautiful.
I've had the same experience...I still own my father's house in Maine...he passed in September 2007...I visited in late September 2008...driving the same car...down the same, dead end road where his little cape Cod style home sits in the woods. Nothing has changed. I'm the same, the car is the same, the road is the same, the house is the same...his bed is neatly made as usual, he just isn't there anymore. The lady's husband across the street has passed, their pet cat who my dad used to feed has died...but everything else is the same. Or is it? I am not holding the house for sentimental reasons...eventually, when things pick up, it will sell.
Ah, Yes!
very emotional writing here sweetie, NICE!
Love the title of this and it sure strikes a chord with me...most excellent Tara ~
A very moving piece, as always.

Lots of feeling and emotion, thoughts, happy, sad, memories ! (I'm not very good at expressing what I'm feeling when I read things like this but you have touched on something here Tara, bless you!) :O)
Wonderful and very poignant writing Tara! I experienced this just a little over two years ago when I went to Wenatchee to my Gran's house...Thank you so much for sharing this!
