| we've spent days apart before. moments when we were states away from each other. it was always you leaving, the conditions of life that we must earn money to live. but now it's me who's taking to the road, leaving on a 6 hour trek that will leave me driving the wildnerness that are minnesota highways at night. driving across two states to reach the safety and complexity of my parents house. i wish it was for good reasons that i was leaving, not because my life is upside and i don't know which way i'm facing. and i wish it was you beside me in the car tonight, not a cat wondering why he's traveling so far from home. it was so easy before. easy seeing your face and racing to you smiling wanting to feel your arms as they wrap around me. and now it's not as easy, there's the conversations about "when it's all over...". And i hope that you are there at the end of it, that you will find me through all the debris that seems to have found it's way into my life lately. It feels like the beaches on lake michigan, after a storm. The contents of the water belched onto the sand, and somehow my storm from life is doing the same. It's hard finding paths through the rivulets that seem to form spontaneously. You are the only certainty i have, the paved road in the wilderness. It's that road that will bring me back to you. |
