When the Bridge Toll Was a Dollar

I reached into my wallet

& I pulled out one single crisp clean dollar bill

& I handed it to you

I watched as you adjusted your sun visor

To keep the glare out of your eyes

Then you rolled down your window

& You paid the toll taker

As we drove away

I watched you push your hair behind your right ear

& You turned to me & you smiled

& In that smile was everything

You were all i'd ever wanted
