Riding Back Alone

Riding back alone
Trees pass by menacingly
But my hands hold no wheel
I’m not even looking ahead of me
More interested in what’s to the right
These strangers know me better than you do
And we’ve never even spoken beyond awkward peeks
You said you’d never let me down though you already have
And now, I’m riding back alone because I don’t need you beside me
