I seek comfort unconventionally Finding a certain joy in moments That tend to linger Or in the mundane, the ordinary A car ride at night Down the dark tunnel of I90 at 11pm With the hum of the engine numbing the senses And the headlights blending together The exhaustion of the hours Leaves you waiting for the end And yet I’d take that car ride forever if I could I guess I find comfort in the certainty of Your presence And the way Your words are contained Within the soft interior of my car As though they’ll stick with me longer And the words come easier knowing They’ll find no ears but Yours In these moments I like knowing I can look forward And still count on You beside me
