I can’t say why
Thoughts about Lacey were so strong,
But can say it was the first time
In a lot of miles I had felt
Perhaps I was not going to
Chase Iambe’s ghost
Through every bar
And small town
Midnight
Forever.


I grabbed a six-pack
And sat in the hotel
Watching reruns
Of shows I never saw
The first or third time
They were on,
Thinking about her
And knowing the question
Davis wanted an answer to
Was one she had to decide
Before I headed back
Down that twisting
Road to see her.

I gave up at 3AM
Having seen enough Lucy
To last me

The old truck’s tank was full
And I wouldn’t need to fill up
Until I got to Rogers.

I saw the title and ran to open it muttering, "oh hell no..." LOL

Loved it.

(giggles) Oh my gosh, I too saw the title at first and I thought "You......don't suppose he's.......really leaving her, do you?" then you sure got me there, haha! (big hugggssssss) Who could resist Lucille Ball and Co. on cable anyhow, I sure can't resist Leave It To Beaver either, this is wonderful, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
