Taxi Cab
I could swear
That I saw you
In the reflection of shimmering lights
Out the window of my taxi cab
We passed over
Memories of us
Like a hitchhiker off the side of the road
The meter keeps flickering
Binary Morse code
I deciphered all its meaning
A bandage for my poor hearts bleeding
New York City rain
Seeping through passenger doors
Like a vision of your body
Each time I close my eyes
I plead, don’t drive me home
Let me stay in this dream
Where your hand doesn’t let go of mine
Until my destination arrives
Like the thief in the Bible
Stealing you away from me
I’ll still leave a tip
For this momentary flashback
Is worth every penny
I swore I saw you…
