Some nights I like to take a drive.
A drive downtown and into the back roads.
To take a breath of the night sky
Trust me the air is different.

With every inhale there is this sense of hope.
Nothing you get during the day.
It's like this air is filled with your dreams just floating in the night sky, waiting for you to inhale it and remember what you really wanted to do with your life.

To look up to the stars and feel small again with the reassurance that this small town girl is nothing compared to the galaxy that lays above her head.

That fear of what lurks in front of you , because during the night you don't know what is staring back at you, what is waiting for you, what is watching you.

That sense of hope, that sense of fear, is what I go driving for in the midnight air.
