We drove. And drove.
Our destination was a party
We ended up in a field
Everything that had come before
Melted away in the sweet darkness
And yet was as present as the rustling wind
Our shoulders brushed
Our shivers mingled in the frozen air
We were shaking, but we were at peace
Everything past, everything remembered
Forgotten, yet knit together
The pieces picked up, held so close
The roof of my car
Silence, laughter, tears
We owned it all
Holding as tightly as possible
Aching, clutching for more
The space between and around us
I can't explain what happened then
I don't think you could, either
But we went back there again
We drove. And drove.
Nothing declared
Everything (and nothing) understood
Such beauty I've never known
Than the stillness of that night
Everything and nothing.
