A Blue Letter in Purple Ink

I saw the car he used to drive
when I knew him decades ago
I felt something like butterflies
I've grown so much since then

We met working retail
while I was still engaged
We flirted way too much
didn't know it was wrong

I gave back my ring
before I saw him
outside of work
Like that made it okay

We had fun that spring
Rollerblading and playing tennis
I got lost in his tattoos
While cuddling on the couch

He opened up to me
I felt so mature
Six years between is
too much when you're 18

One day he played me sad songs
Downloaded from Napster
He knew first I didn't
want anything long-term

I can't even remember
Exactly how things ended
Probably with a blue letter
Written in purple ink
