The 11:55
Because I stayed up late last night listening to the midnight disk jockey spin The Cure "Pictures of You" followed by "Free Bird". Because the 11:55 train ran was over three minutes late that night and because I thought maybe you would have called me to tell me you were alright. Because I preferred to keep the windows open for just a little longer- allowing the season-changing air to gently push the curtains you had picked out just before we departed for North Dakota in 2007- so that I could listen for wheels on their tracks. Because in that moment I longed for even our most unpleasant times spent together (remember that argument in the Marshall Fields parking lot?) over no time at all.
