true love

some cars you fall in love with
the second you see
them.

the second you turn the key
and take it for a test drive.

it's everything you ever wanted
in a car.

the shine, the gleam, what's
under the hood, those
soft leather seats.

the contour of her body,
the curves, so sleek.

how fast she was when
I pushed her pedal,
how she sang
to me.

some cars are your true love,
your roadster
soulmate,

your destiny. she never failed
to turn over
on a cold winters morning.

she was built to please,

those headlights, that grille,
I miss her so,
my hands upon
her warm
steering wheel.

she was everything I dreamed
she would be.
