The Drive

It was an interesting car ride
One in which she asked questions to make conversation 
But he didn’t really seem too interested in replying to 
Maybe he had something else on his mind 

He wanted to know more about her
Specifically, why she was still single 
An age old question that she knew the answer to 
Yet she couldn’t really answer 

So she gave him a line 
The one that goes ‘I just haven’t made a connection with someone yet’ 
It’s pretty believable 
It makes sense and is logical 

But the real answer, she just wasn’t ready 
She just wasn’t ready to give in and give out 
To her a relationship meant giving parts of yourself 
That you just couldn’t get back 
It meant making memories that you could look back on 
And no longer care for the person that shared such moments with you 

She had to take a moment to breathe 
Did she want to continue building up knowing that the next brick laid 
Would be shared with someone different 
It was just too much for her at the moment 

But that was ok 
She knew she needed time to heal 
And when he leaned in 
She moved back 

She just wasn’t ready to give up more of herself 
Did he understand?
She couldn’t say 
But for some reason he wasn’t scared off

He wanted to stay…
