running in the rain

i saved her life once.
she was running
across the street in a dark
rain,
her head down,
covered by her coat
and hands.
she didn't see the car 
coming towards her,
or did she?
so i screamed as loud
as i could,
and the car stopped
inches from her body.
she looked back at me
in anger,
and i had the strange feeling
that i had done
the wrong thing.
