Just a little closer...

I thought today could pass by smoothly without letting things get to me. But, of course, like every other time, I was wrong.

Work was busy, so for the most part I could just focus on that. But somebody actually came and asked me what I was doing tonight. I really didn't need anyone to remind me that I'll be spending it alone.

While driving home from work, I stopped at the lights, right beside an ambulance. The driver was a girl. It reminded me of the time when she was getting her license. It reminded me of the times I sat in her car and watched her drive.

For certain reasons, I ended up at a familiar place tonight. I guess I didn't have to go, but it was an excuse for me to get a little closer to where I want to be. Although, it's never close enough to the real thing.

I can't help but wonder what she did today.

Did someone send her flowers? Did she send someone flowers? Did she write something sweet and poetic for someone? Was there someone there with her when I passed by? Did she spend the night with someone?

Did I ever cross her mind?
