You Might Never Come North

One morning I'll wake and I won't feel it anymore

 

One morning

You'll wake early, 4am,

Rub the sleep out of your eyes

and see things a new way

 

You will then:

1. Shower

2. Make toast

3. Pack everything you can fit into your Mazda

4. Take the scenic route to 95 North

5. Head (anywhere)home?

 

You almost hit him as you back out of your parking space

He tells you that you are a light in the dark

It's taken 24 years but you finally let your guard down

 

By 10am he's in the midst of most of the unpacking while you play with his dog, Ringo

 

One morning I'll know your not leaving the Sunshine State

I'll wake a bit too early that morning and the feeling will be gone
