Love: A Journey

CHASING CARS

Let's spend a day beneath a tree.
Doing nothing and pretending it's the best something we have ever done.

Let's speak in whispers.
Carry our words gently down the back of a cool breeze.

Let's squeeze back into the people we were before we lost our milk teeth.
Sure they might not fit us quite as well as they once did but for today let's try to make it work.

Let's try to reclaim our innocence.
Feign ignorance of all the cruelties of the world.

Let's talk about the many shapes of the clouds.
Stretch out our hands as though we were celestial beings destined to touch the heavens.

Let's chase after unattainable dreams or chase after cars as they drive off into the sunset.
And as they slowly fade out of sight, let's pretend all our worries disappeared along with them.

Let's lay awake at night and count the stars.
Let's rename each constellation after our favorite songs and dance in the silence, pretending we can hear each one echoing across the empty void of space.

Let's make no wishes.
Let's for once act like this moment is all we'll ever need.

Let's forget that the world is made up of anyone or anything other than us.

Let's skip around like little kids and remember the times when the most romantic thing we could ever do was hold hands.

Let's hold hands.

Let's keep it simple, there is no need to rush.
Let's forget the expectations of the world and just let everything fall into place as they may.
Let's waste our time, chasing cars.
Because the fun is never in what we do but the fact that it's something we'll get to do together.
So... Chase cars with me...
To nowhere in particular...
But maybe.. Just maybe..
It will be exactly where we were meant to be.
