Without you
It never seemed a wrongful thing
staying late that summer night.
The party roared into the dark
beer and whiskey flowed free and loose
friends were falling over one another.
We slept over that summer night
but, come the morning, I realized
I’d stayed over without you.
We went to see her several times.
Her name was Emmy Lou.
A friend of ours from teenage years
who learned to drink while in high school.
We slept over a couple times
to help her make it through the night
but, come those mornings, I realized
I’d stayed over without you.
You came over that final night
to see if it was true
and caught me sleeping with Emmy Lou.
That’s all that I remember of that night
but come the morning I realized
I’d be spending forever...
Without you.
Now, I’m alone day and night dreaming...
about you.

Wonderful. Mesmerising story which asks so many questions in my head yet leaves me satisfied. I'm going to read this several times.
Thanks DA. Many questions is always a compliment. It means it made you think. much appreciated.
Oh so nicely done. Kept me in suspenders and then slipped me the answer. Great story line.
Thanks Dog, D. - Hang on to those suspenders or you might get belted. (Sorry, I couldn't help it).
Serves me right....
Super write, our mistakes will always find us out and lead to regrets in our lives.
