She left thirteen years ago.
Without a word.
And there hasn’t been a day go by that I haven’t thought about her.

Now she’s back in town.
Just showed up out of the blue.
I suppose it wasn’t really out of the blue.
Her estranged father passed away, and she’s back to settle his estate.
She breezes back into town.
Again, without even a hello.
What am I supposed to make of that?
She’d been my best friend growing up.
She’s the one I fell in love with.
Only she broke my heart.
I want to stay away, but something drives me to her doorstep.
And, damned if she hasn’t been keeping a big secret from me.
I have a son.
