Maybe you were giving this relationship a try, perhaps living together, but then feeling like you didn't really know the "stranger" as well as you thought you did; so, of course, you had to get out of there fast ... and without even leaving a note, I imagine.<br /><br />"Maybe in the fall I'll get you back for one sweet reclaimed hour" ... This makes me think that in a moment of weakness, when the leaves are changing and you're feeling sentimental or lonely, you may return ... but just for an hour. Oh, and I just noticed the double meaning in "get you back," so perhaps Poindexter did something to hurt you and you intend to return the favor.<br /><br />I like that "offends" could also be "off-ends"; I think this works well with the layer of meaning having to do with the time change --- as if the time change even messes up God's schedule.✿https://www.blogger.com/profile/01044032159371976375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-6273241693542381242015-03-04T19:02:46.523-05:002015-03-04T19:02:46.523-05:00"Stranger"--with that one word you sum u..."Stranger"--with that one word you sum up the distance that comes in a broken relationship, the what once was and is no more.
