love story
i was thinking of
her
when the truck careened around the corner
bathed her in its glow

three years 
two thousand six hundred ninety nine miles
by plane

the paramedic called her parents
who called their relatives
her childhood friends
her high school English teacher knew
her SAT tutor somehow found out

i never considered
no one would call
me

that night i called
her number
to tell her
i loved her
