Exactly a year ago

Exactly a year ago I borrowed my friend's bike and biked almost a mile to where you were. The previous day, I did the same, but I left a note for you. You were asleep, so I waited by the pond close by. I watched the water glimmer in the sun and ripple in the wind. And then I biked in circles until you came outside. Because of what you did, because of what you said, I was so sure you would come back.

A year later, I drove down the same road. And I spent half of the day with my universe.
