About an hour to go and the sweet aroma of mother nature had increasingly become tainted by man's work, not only did the fatigue start to set in but just seeing her at peace, deep in sleep had me mesmerized and driving seemed like an after thought. They say nothing in this world is perfect.... anyone who has said that definitely never saw her, staring at the road as we passed the city lights and saw things in a different light, nothing mattered much but the wind caressing every creek and crevice of our faces. With the satisfying melodies of Jhene Aiko that suited the moment so perfectly.
Every thought encapsulated with finding different ways to love her and it took the journey to really understand that this was my happiness, loving. Why keep going? i asked myself, just stop and love her... the music stopped and an old friend was back without a warning. Why worry over such trifles of the past, as each minute passed 'the ride' a picture of tranquility had been moved out of the frames and smashed into a thousand pieces leaving only shards of serenity amidst the growing anxiety, trying to piece the broken pieces back together but only injuring myself in the process ... there's blood on my hands not the kind you can just wipe off, stained by knowing the truth of who i was. Confused to say the least , broken without question ... in a war with myself and were both using weapons. i load my gun filled with love never taking my hand of the trigger and the heavy artillery of the status quo of what a man is supposed to be like is just too much, too soft. but i give everything in my arsenal because i cant lose, not this time. sweat dripping and i can taste the salt.. myself fights back with a dagger of mistakes to the heart, but i'm not down yet but i realized that wasn't sweat its tears. The war is almost over and were almost there, one last shot before i depart... one round of faith to the heart.
The love of my life has just waked up and asked me why were not moving, took my hand off the wheels without realizing and if i told you i knew what happened i'd be lying, still on the ride but this time she's driving.
