I asked about Adam...
“He’ll never be the same” he said.
I knew I shouldn’t have asked.
The store started to twirl around me and the tears started to roll down my face.
I remember him on the ground bloody and twisted.
“I was there.” I said
“You were?”
“Yeah, I was telling him not to move.”
A manager walked by and heard us talking and saw me and asked the situation.
“You were there?”
“Yes”
He walked two steps and tapped a guy on the shoulder and he turned around…
I almost screamed “You were there with a girl when I was calling 911.”
He smiled and nodded.
I proceeded to not know what the fuck I was doing.
I broke down in Trader Joe’s.
All the sudden he said “Are you alright?”
“Yeah…I’m sorry…I’ll be fine.”
I went to my car and sobbed…I just don’t do that.
Some moments in time freeze. The night on the bridge did.
It’s hard to describe a picture when you are the only person that has seen it.

Fuck
I have in my life been in a passenger in a car that hit a train, for months I heard the sound of metal against metal.
I'm not trying to compare, I'm just saying I am sorry.
I've been there. No one can compare. All we can do is listen.
