Got It Bad

Driving...

On my way to work I stumbled across a pen you left in my glove box.

I stare at it for the few seconds that I can while taking my eyes off the road ahead of me.

And I start to remember you using the pen.

You used that very pen to write a letter to me, but you ended and started it with "You're such a sweet guy" you said that you didn't know what else to write.

And I pretended to care.  Either you didn't care enough to write more or you just couldn't because you were lost for words.  You said it was the latter.

I put the pen up to my nose and start to sniff it, hoping that your scent will still be on there.

And it is.  

So I take it all in, and sigh a great big sigh.

But then I start to realize what I'm doing...

So I put the pen back in the glove box and look through my mirrors hoping no one was staring at me.

Damn...

I've got it bad.
