It's that moment, on a road trip
When all the snacks have been eaten
And there is nothing but time ahead of you.
And there's music over the radio,
Taking turns playing our favorite songs
Our laughter melding with melody
As the sun begins to set.
And the warmth of that sun
Blends into the warmth in my chest
And I look
I look at him
and he glows with golden light.
And time slows down,
Every detail, in perfect clarity
Every second stretching into a lifetime
And my heart beats with so much love.
So much warmth and joy and hope.
And I look at him,
And he is beautiful.
And everything just feels right.
And I know it'll all be okay.

Taking turns playing our favorite songs

And the warmth of that sun
Blends into the warmth in my chest
And I look

and he glows with golden light.
And time slows down,
Every detail, in perfect clarity
Every second stretching into a lifetime
And my heart beats with so much love.
So much warmth and joy and hope.
And I look at him,
And he is beautiful.
And everything just feels right.
And I know it'll all be okay.
