Home to You

Nothing stopped the chill at the end of my fingertips

As they swayed and danced in the breeze

My arm stuck out the window, numb to the cold air

Caring at this point was out of the question

Freedom, that in-explicit rush down in the pit of my stomach,

The rapid beating of my heart

Continued down the wide open freeway

I counted the stars as they shown over the mountain tops

Seeing them out like, no clouds covering their light

No sun to block them out, just uncovered in the night

We pulled over, holding one another

Knowing this was just the start, the beginning to the rest

As if already written above

Like a roman candle dancing across the sky

Taking the mind wherever it finds

Splashing and sparking the fire

Embers burn, that’s the moment I remember most

He and I, nothing else except the breeze and the lights

The soft gasp of air, the heat from the flame, the tenderness in the touch

Closing my eyes, I dream of the night

I relish in the feeling, the lost, nowhere to be found, pleasant feeling

All over, I felt it, capturing my body in an embrace

Squeezing ever so gently, tenderly, holding me secure

Under the stars, experiencing the warmth

Nothing ever compared to that, not the feeling of freedom

Or the breeze against the fire, or the cold numbness to my fingers

No words could depict the feeling I had when I was with him

Out, in the middle of nowhere, no one to tell us this is wrong

That what feels so wonderfully right, isn't

So covered by night, by all the lights, we can reverie and dream

We can say those words lost in our minds

We can feel every emotion inside

Thinking this is wrong not right

Whispering secrets, laughing all night, holding each other tight

That feeling of knowing, knowing this is alright, this is ours to protect

To see through to the very end

No one crossing over to step between

It’s our freedom to be

Living for that, that and only that, that one and only explainable feeling

Believing in it, trusting it, allowing it to grow, and knowing it was ours

And not for some show, just ours, under the shining spheres

With the fire, blinding light, sparks floating up to the sky
