time moves

when you drive me home,

the lights fly faster, the exits come sooner.

i want to hold your hand forever and forget

my ten hour work days, the start of debt,

the fear.

i have been in this new place, washing my dishes,

cleaning my room, loving these new people.

enjoying life back in the cities.

hoping that these nights alone go faster.

i used to think no person could keep me in one spot,

but he has a hold on me, i haven't had enough time with him yet.

i feel like we're on this ride home, knowing he's leaving,

and i have so little time left to hold his hand

as he pulls me through the night.

i don't want those days to end but i cannot stay trapped 

in the forest. i belong on the road, seeing things and 

experiencing all that this world can offer.

i wish i could take him, but i love him so much,

he needs to do what he wants. i only hope as our 

paths diverge or hearts stay on the same road,.
