Canadian Tire Parking lot

By Alex Janz

By AJPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

I changed my first taillight in the Canadian tire parking lot

A hot day in July, I was 17

You texted saying you 'were sorry you weren't there to help'

I didn't know taillights burnt out

But I've always known whatever I needed, you wouldn't be 'there to help'

So really, don't sweat it, I will
