Sitting somewhere along the river in New Orleans

Description:
We were on our way to Texas and decided to swing through New Orleans to see the city and your bandmates wanted coffee. It was November, only a few months after the hurricane hit and we were all a little skeptical of what would be going on. Driving into the city was tedious, the roads were alternately deserted and then bumper to bumper traffic. A lot of the roads were re-routed due to flood damage, there was garbage everywhere....people nowhere. New Orleans proper was empty...quiet.
I thought I would never get there and then there I was and I felt so alone. We hadn't spoken in about a day. Our frequent fights had worn us both down to just ignoring eachother. You went off with your bandmates to get coffee and brioches and I went and sat by the river. I wanted to see the river so badly. I wondered if it knew.
