I watched you buy our camper van

Its bright, luscious green paint
The previous owner’s dings ever so faint

Its dark, evergreen tree silhouettes
The two seats upfront I’ll never forget

I watched you buy your camper van

The warmth of the yellow light above the table
Illuminating this love story that’s now a lifeless fable

The darkness that surrounds me
Mocking my longing to enter without owning a key

I watched you buy the camper van

The possessive pronouns once part of our memories
Sting just like a swarm of aggressive bumble bees

The invisible string that once held us together
Would now be lost forever

I watched you buy a camper van
