Roadtrip

My silly girl heart soars
As my car scarfs up the road
Between you and me.
Windows down.
Wild hair.
Smiling at everyone who passes.

It's been so long since these arms held.
Since these knees got weak.
I want to race the whole way,
End the forever wait.

Then--somewhere around halfway, I think--
I slow right down.
Take it easy.
Savor this swelling of giddiness I feel
As I inch closer to you
Knowing that you are there,
Waiting for me,
With those arms open wide.
Just for me.
