midnight drive

car rides always filled me with dread.
one look out the window
and my head would begin spinning.
but one time
you took me on a midnight drive
with the roof of the car down.
your hair danced in the wind,
your eyes twinkled in the moonlight
like the stars that twinkled in the sky
and my heart skipped three beats at once.
the radio was blasting
all of our favorite songs,
and in that moment,
car rides didn't seem so bad.
