Goodnight Bus Driver

Good night bus driver

You may not realize it

but you changed my life.

I was walking down the street

trying to make it home.

But then you stopped

and picked me up.

Your bus' florescent lights have that familiar feel.

Choosing a seat is often as fickle as picking the right apple,

so I tend to just stand up.

But when I first get on board

I nod and say hello

I don't know if you realize that I am glad you found me tonight.

When it is my turn to get off

I walk out the back door.

I waved but I am not sure if you saw me.

Though I never got your name

and you never got mine

we both hold a piece of each other forever

because of that one ride.

And I know when the same time tomorrow comes

I will forever be in debt

to another bus driver just like you.
