I watch the cars the way you did
From that window we both hid
You liked the world when it was gray
Said it matched your honest way
It’s a window in reverse
Showing me the moments first
The laughs, the sighs, the held-in cries
That passed too fast before goodbyes
You'd name the clouds like secret friends
And say the sky forgets how things end
Now every pane reflects your face
Half a smile and full of grace
I lean, I blink, I almost call
But know you’re just beyond it all
