     The road had seemingly lasted forever, as it stretched far beyond what your eyes could see. Looking over my shoulder, I saw him driving and was awestruck, he always seemed to look so beautiful even though it was never his intention. I heard him giggle and I glanced up, our eyes connecting and a bubbly feeling radiating from my stomach even after two years together he still made me feel this way.

     He intertwined our fingers, laying our hands on the center console while his left hand remained stationary on the wheel, humming the tune to the song playing in the car, his favorite playlist. The playlist mainly consisted of John Mayer but there were a few others too, and all I heard was the faint hum of him singing John's song.
    "Could I change if I wanted, could I rise above the flood?" He quickly began performing a mini-concert in the car, laughing to myself I joined,
    "I can feel the love I want, I can feel the love I need but it's never gonna come the way I am."

   We sat in the car a little while longer after the song had ended, truly not wanting to leave it, the moment so pure even though we were only leaving for a snack, he grabbed my hand again, kissing my knuckles and briefly for a solid second I felt as if I was flying. Our eyes connected once again but he interrupted the peaceful moment, his stomach was growling.

     We exited the car regrettably so, as my jacket was thrown in the backseat when we first hit Oregon, now passing through Washington without a jacket in what seemed like 40-degree weather. Quickly I ran around his jeep and nearly threw myself into him as he was always so much warmer than he should've been but he never noticed. He wrapped his arm around me as we entered the store, but we quickly parted as I grabbed a shopping cart and he went straight for the snacks.
    
     "Shawnnnnnnn, " I prolonged hoping it would grasp his attention more, but it didn't he was too focused on the food over his girlfriend, which I was started to understand after hearing his stomach growling again. After about 10 minutes we had a cart full of candy, snacks, and drinks nearly toppling out of it because it was so full. Approaching the cash register we pulled the items out onto the conveyer belt waiting for the elderly lady to begin scanning, she soon broke the silence, "You two are adorably cute, are you from around here?"
     "No, we are just passing through, mini road trip since I've got the next three weeks off I practically forced her to as well so we could be together before I left." Shawn answering too honestly as he usually does.
     "Oh, deployed?"
     "No, actually I'm a singer and I have a world tour coming up soon so I'm spending as much time with her as I can before I begin a tour," Shawn spoke softly, when reality hit that we have already been on the road for four days and we only have a little over two weeks left, which considering the amount of time we usually see each other is actually good. I noticed a small pout coming from him and I quickly wrapped my hand around his bicep, a quick touch emitting a spark, and he smiles down at me, the lady then responds,
     "That's too cute. My husband was overseas so I understand the hardship of not being together often, it gets better I promise, eventually you both will lay together wondering how you did it, and I continue to question it every day." She lightly laughed to herself, bagging the last item a smile plastered from ear to ear as it seems like she's recalling the moments. Shawn and I bid our dues and head back to the jeep, filling the back it with all the snacks we just bought, both grabbing something to hold us over the rest of the way.
     "Buckle up babe," he smiled at me. I did as I was told and looked at him adoringly, waiting for him to begin driving, we managed to get back on the freeway and continued driving, I grinned to myself. This is a moment I knew I would forever look back on, driving with the love of my life, no destination just driving to spend time together making memories on the way, and always being able to look to my side with him sitting there, that's when the song replayed,
     "And what about this feeling that I am never good enough?" That was when he looked at me, with pure joy and stated: "You are more than good enough, you're too good for me babe." I smiled sinking deeper into the passenger seat holding his hand and listening to the music slowly falling into a deep sleep.
