Oklahoma sky

I needed air 
So off 
I took
Walking.
The
Sun 
Was in 
My eyes.
I could
Barely see
But I was
Not going
Back to
The car
To get my
Sunglasses.
I was walking
Home.
I was 
Done.
Tears
Falling 
Down
My face.
I am right 
Here feeling
This.
Feeling all
Of this.
I have not 
Felt in 
Years.
You made 
Me feel.
Feel
Love
Passion
Life
Happiness
Saddness
Loss.
I could.
Barely
Breathe.
You got 
Out of
The car.
Running after 
Me.
I turn
And stop.
I look
At you,
All these
Feelings
Running in 
My soul 
My veins
My heart.
You start to
Speak.
Don't.  
I say,
Please do not
Speak.
I won't 
Make it
If you say 
One unkind 
Word to me.
I start crying.
I continue
Sobbing,
Then 
I say,
My spirit 
Is still broken 
And if you,
Say something
Mean
I will not
Recover.
I had 
21 yrs 
Of mean
Words.
Just walk away
If you need
To, I say.
You look
At your feet.
You start
To speak 
You start
With... If 
This was another
Time in my
Life.
I stop you
By holding up
My hand.
I speak,
Please
Stop.
I say to 
You.
We both stand
Crying.
 I look at
The sky.
The sun is
Setting and the 
Colors are 
Amazing.
You start to
Talk and 
Your voice 
Is shaking.
I..
You say 
And stop.
Silence.
I start to speak
Remembering
The first song
I ever
Heard with 
You.
Meet me..
I say 
And
Before I can 
Finish
You complete
My words.
You say,
Under the Oklahoma sky.
I reply,
When
Your ready.
You say
Maybe soon.
I turn and walk 
Away.
I cry as I 
Walk
Home.
My life is 
Full
Of maybes
I am 
Living 
In
The 
Here
And
Now.
I am
Ready for
Oklahoma 
Now.
