Something about impact
set me straight.
At least,
straighter than I was.
Tumbling,
aimless,
a castaway from my own life.
Not sure
if it was gravity,
or fate,
but when we met
we were changed,
and sent along
on our own way,
carrying a few
new scars
on our hearts.
Contact
was all it took
for each of us.
No future,
just the impact.
When the dust
cleared,
I was gone
and you were not there,
but I flew along
a little bit straighter.
