Call up the locksmith,<br /> Tell him we need him quick,<br /> We&#039;ve got a million keys,<br /> None of them seem to fit.

A song will play on the radio,
Each word would remind me of you,
Your scent, your feel,
The way you left—so smooth.

You were my first friend here,
Your heart was ultimately kind,
But with most first loves,
The world is seen blind.

Wherever you were,
I needed you like air; like food,
But as the song ended, I thought:
The way you left—so smooth.

Some people enter your life and leave in the blink of an eye. It's quite saddening.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
