QUICK GOODBYES

Six feet from the headlights;
twenty from the store.
Sometime way past midnight
in 1994

She had all her plans made.
None could shake her stride.
He married his soul mate
no thoughts of quick goodbyes.

2am on a Sunday.
Their plane took off at nine.
They drove through the storms of rain
to make it just in time.

When two had just a few
and another had too much.
Collision course on a Sunday
in an empty parking lot.

The day that they first met
Their futures intertwined
Stories shared and dreams were made
And laughs were mixed with wine

She had such a smile
He could not deny.
They walked down the isle,
no thoughts of quick goodbyes.
