For the best
by Rick Delmonico

I can't believe, I can't forget
I thought it through the longest time
Without a pause I'm through the door
I wouldn't want to fall behind

And here alone, my head feels clear
a cool night's walk along the shore
My thought's return to you my dear
I turn a corner, starts to pour

The scent of night the subtle way
you drew me out to see your side
The taste of love is it as sweet
as your obsession can provide

And here alone, my head feels clear
The clouds enshroud a silvery moon
My thoughts return to you my dear
I reach my car none to soon

Recline the seat go through the gears
The buildings flash by like the years
It's just the same I say aloud
and race ahead to pass a cloud

Soaked to the skin chilled to the bone
the door key sticks I miss the call
Could that have been I ask the phone
or was it just the alcohol

And here alone, my head still hurts
I'll catch up on that needed rest
My thoughts return to you my dear
I guess it's probably for the best

Nicely done.

The scent of night the subtle way
you drew me out to see your side
The taste of love is it as sweet
as your obsession can provide

Best lines in the poem for me.
