He opens his eyes
Wreckage is all around
The seatbelt is unlatched
He stumbles from the car
The woman in the other car
He stumbles to her door
Something familiar about her
But no time to think about that
He sees the blood
and her mangled body
The door is flown wide
as he struggles with her belt
Why does her scent haunt him?
Who is she?
Why does he want to hold her?
He drags her onto the pavement
There are sirens in the distance
He doesn't know where to start
So he gently holds her head
Her laboured breathing slows
He realizes she is staring
and with her final breathe
she whispers the truth
"You were my one true love..."
Her face he had never seen before
but as the life fades from pale eyes
he can only think
of his wife and kids
at home!
