I Killed You Today: thanks for the memory

I killed you today, but only once, only for a second, that's all it took. Just one mistake from you, and a little help from me, then BAM, your end is here. You see, the right lane was not moving. It was full. Full of right turners. And the center lane it was flying, flying like a bird. I was one of those birds. And then you were flying too. So what kind of fool crosses traffic only if they can see that no one is coming? A live one. And what kind of fool would cross even if they could not see, see the thing that would end their life. A dead one. Five tons of truck, 40 miles in an hour. Two tons of car, pulled right into the path. No time to stop, no time for anything, but to die. Physics, physics, and life, then death. So here I sit, wondering why, why you picked this day to die, and here I sit, wondering why, why you used me, to help you fly. But don't thank me, the memories of it, I'm sure will be all the thanks I will ever need. Day and night, night and day, till time, it does ends, because, I killed you today.
