Distance
by: Morgan Lamsfuss
On a trip from Fort Worth to Austin
I pulled over to help someone
On the side of the highway
Little did I know their car had no problems
It was full of gas and had no flat tires
There were no mechanical issues at all
Rather, there was an emotional one
As I approached the car I noticed
That the driver inside was bawling
They rolled their window down for me
And when I asked what was wrong
They simply replied “I am in love”.
