I wonder what my car remembers for me
Countless miles and hours spent traveling
To see those whose faces I do not remember
Homes that only seem familiar in dreams
Highways that feel more comfortable than my old twin sized mattress
Damage to the interior
Resembling the same marks left inside
Me
Surviving stormy nights that even I did not expect
To escape
Crossing rolling hill after rolling hill just to find a new place to call “home”
Stuffing dreams in the trunk that I would eventually consider my baggage
Times shared with friends long forgotten
And destined
To share more with friends yet to be found
Thank you
For remembering what I will undoubtably forget
If only your four wheels could carry me
Just a little further
To who I wish I could be

I wonder what my car remembers for me
Countless miles and hours spent traveling
To see those whose faces I do not remember
Homes that only seem familiar in dreams
Highways that feel more comfortable than my old twin sized mattress
Damage to the interior
Resembling the same marks left inside
Me
Surviving stormy nights that even I did not expect
To escape
Crossing rolling hill after rolling hill just to find a new place to call “home”
Stuffing dreams in the trunk that I would eventually consider my baggage
Times shared with friends long forgotten
And destined
To share more with friends yet to be found
Thank you
For remembering what I will undoubtably forget
If only your four wheels could carry me
Just a little further
To who I wish I could be
