Why the fuck am I waiting for this light?

Remember when I told you I loved you? Its been a long time since I've heard that in return. I don't even remember what it's like to say it.

The last time I said it, it was in the context of an apology. "I love you" like it burst through my lips without passing inspection. If felt so nice to say-such a short distance of bliss; from the the vibrations of my hopeful vocal chords to the look of fear on your face. "I'm sorry, I rarely get to say it and truly mean it" I muttered in recovery.

Sometimes I get so tired...

I find myself waiting for a red light alone at 5:30am and I think; "Why the fuck am I sitting here?". "There's nobody for miles, but here I am...blindly waiting for the light to turn."

Heading across JFK blvd standing with one foot clipped into my pedal, the bike sits sideways. "This is fucking nuts, I'm going to be late waiting for this light" I think to myself. I kick on to the pedals, drift sideways and redirect myself- there in the darkness- a huge truck comes blaring around the corner trying to make the yellow light. The only two people in the city; cutting the corner puts him on a collision course. As his breaks screamed to arrest his attempt at involuntary manslaughter, I think "Why the fuck was I waiting for this light"..
