When we began, the journey felt long.
The roads endlessly twisted.
Sitting in the backseat, I like this song.
I'm thinking about how smart I was to risk it.

I venture through thoughts of us,
Now and then.
Making a stronger bond,
Making departure hard,
Because I don't know when it is I'll see you again.

Your eyes echo stories.
Your expression mirrors mine.
It's a bittersweet battle
As I plead voraciously with time.

The leaves caress your autumnal gaze.
In those hazel eyes, I thaw.
But your disposition is beginning to fade.
The former blue of my stare is now red.

Raw.

Oh, to be in your arms once more.
A truly blissful slumber,
Counting breaths and heartbeats,
What I'd give for such a comfort.

But last time I woke,
My reverie faced defeat.
I saw the trickery of love,
A sore sight of empty sheets.
