Green bean

You saved me
And you might
Not even
Know it.
When I ran
Away from
My old life
You carried
Me.
You carried 
Me with 
Those I 
Loved.
I would pace
At night.
Not knowing
Who I was
And what I 
Was doing.
I would stare 
Out at you
And you would
Call to me.
You would say 
Let's ride
The wind 
Together.
I grabbed
My keys
And jumped 
Into you.
Many nights
I would
Drive dirt 
Roads
Looking
For the 
Answers.
The meaning
Of life.
As I cleaned 
Out the Jeep
For the last
Time,
I cried.
I remember
All those memories
That got 
Me to this 
Peaceful place.
It seems silly.
A Jeep
A machine.
It's more 
Than that..
It's what I
Experienced 
In the Jeep
For 3 years.
For the first 
Time in 
My life 
I felt freedom.
I tasted life.
And I 
Found 
The amazing 
Woman I
Turned out 
To be.
I got into my
New car and 
Went to 
Dinner.
As I toasted 
The day 
With friends,
I raised my 
Glass and 
Said
To freedom
And 
The green bean.
Chapter closed.
Ready for
The next.
