I was making my last familiar drive down the roads from my old apt into hollywood, & I noticed a cemetery Id never realized was there. And as I looked out over the vast green pastures and scattered trees, I noticed a woman— Standing there alone, with her back to me. She had on a salmon colored blouse and tan pants with pink flowers held in her hands. I was so caught off guard that I actually pulled up to the nearest light, turned around, and pulled off to the side to watch her. (Ive done creepier things trust me, Im a maniac) She stood there alone... It was complete silence aside from the idling of my vehicle, as if even the city took a moment to breathe with her. She stood for awhile without a single movement. Slouched as if defeated and yet even without a glimpse of her face I could feel her emotion. I wondered who it might be thats name lie there on the plaque before her and I began to think to myself what if that were me? ... I cant imagine longing for someone so badly yet knowing theyll never return. Reminiscing on all the memories. Praying to the blades of grass to part ways and rise from the ground this person so dearly missed. I imagine the frustration with being so close within 6 feet of dirt & yet a million light years away from the ability to hear a voice for the very last time. She finally moved... She carefully placed the arrangement as if to say, Ill be back another day- because in these grieving moments, I feel closest to you. Makes you think about what you have–
