The Long Road

As the fog comes crawling on asphalt

As if a pale white ghost longs for the warmth of life,

I drive through that night with you in my mind.

Rest well there, as the notion of holding you bursts with light

force me to smile with delight.

About six hours in my drive home,

My  eyes fall heavy as if anchors weigh them down.

But with strength I hold well thanks to caffeine

My hands bound to the wheel

I cruise safely through our ordeal.

Wait for me this night

as I drive the long road back to you

please stay awake for my kiss

an fall to sleep together in bliss
