and your light was out.

as i walked by your apartment last night
by - even though it was out of my way.
i walked to your apartment last night
even though i was fairly sure - even though
i was fairly sure i knew, you'd be sleeping.

and your light was out.

as i ran a fingerprint along the tail
end of your car, wondering absently
if you had ever mentioned an alarm
thought it might be funny if - well
you know - and upon seeing a dangling
bouquet of air fresheners, smiled.

and left your light out.
