Road to Nowhere

They look at us and ask "Hey, where are you planning to go?"

We look at each other, grinning, "Nowhere in particular."

"Are you seriously ok with that?"

"Yep"

I give your hand a squeeze and we peel out of the driveway, kicking up dust

We laugh because we both know that the destination doesn't matter 

In the car with you, the scenery changes

Green rolling hills turn to mountains colored in the magenta light of sunset

All obscured by the light of your soul

Wind from the windows rushes past us 

We sing at the top of our lungs speeding down the open highway 

Maybe we slow down to enjoy the roadside attractions

Maybe all that matters is that for today's journey, we have each other

If we look at the map, we are lost

The only way to reach the end of the trip is to take the ride
