I didn't think of you

I didn't think of you
As I drove through the sheeting rain
Eyes on the fog line
Both hands on the wheel


I didn't think of you
When the lightning began striking fast and angry
In single spikes in the not too distance
Or when the hail pinged around me
Bouncing off the hood
Like weaponized peas


I didn't think of you
Because I was listening to Lovesong
"Whenever I'm alone with you..."
And I don't want to be that
Now or then


Without you
I am
Fun again
Free again
Home again
Whole again
Wrapped in my contented skin
