her
she sat next to me in the car
a newly purchased Chrysler with Live 
playing on the newly purchased cd player
she sat there with tears
tears running down her cheeks
and mania, or depression, or both
running through her veins
i sat there unknowing, concerned, worried, and afraid
for once not for me, but for her
i Love her
i drove home-without a license or a clue
she sat silent in the seat next to me
i wasn't nervous or scared of driving that new car
only of getting her home in time
i drove up in the drive, barely got in
and she opened the door and jumped out
kneeled down over the curb, hugging her knees and holding her own hair back
i ran to get her mom, and walked back to stand by her
as she rose the tears flowed and i gave her a hug
passed a little joke to make her smile- she did
she went in, i went home, and here i am
hoping with all hope she's ok
but i know she's not
but i still Love her
i know she has problems
i know she's been hurt
some things are just not able to be fixed
not all the way at least
maybe this is how things are supposed to be
she's perfect
and i Love her
