KEEP'N IT

A couple of years ago, i met a girl that made me believe anything can happen.
Like a relationship that was dull&solid as cement, but she came through & got it cracking.
Got me thinking&laughing, til my stomach and my head ached.
Feeling weird, i rushed to the bathroom;
face down, staring at the toilet, i let out all my stress.
But the best part was my heart was still intact,
in fact i met up with her the next day.
We talked about the best way
we can get along.
Don't get me wrong,
but she was doing hers & i was doing mine.
She was just there to keep me company & help me with my shine.
She said, "You got to believe it, to achieve it, keep it enough to need it, but don't lose it or else your date with hope, was hopeless," then she giggled.
Then i turned around, looked back & she was gone.
But talking to her filled the empty in my stomach
& every time she visits i feel confident,
but i also feel that weird feeling in my stomach/chest.
For a second there i thought i loved her.
keeping that thought to myself i continued living my life with the thought oh her in the back of my mind.
& every time i kiss my significant other i get that gut feeling as if i was with her, but i couldn't explain it.
Until we cross paths again.

When i was driving up the 15 north on a night when the heaters all you've got,
overlooking the steering wheel & pass the synchronized windshield wipers
observing the aurora of red lights getting blurry while i dose off.
Without a slight thought of death on my mind i reminisced about her.
As i lay my lips on hers, she slowly pulls back without hesitation
& I'm still there steady breathing
i manage to get a word out, "WAIT.
i didn't catch your name."
She leaned forward as i close my eyes,
whispered in my ear and said,
"FAITH."
Everything falls in place & my thoughts come tumbling down & i snap back to reality
What may have felt like an eternity, was only remembered in a minute as i woke back up & drove on.
