The Road

Out there

            free to get lost

            free to find myself

nothing but the horizon

and the memory of you

beckons.

In here

            lost in my thoughts

            lost in my dreams

I hold onto the moments

that help me find my way

back to you.

I love the road

            where I’m going

            where I’ve been

and the world it gives me

without and within.

I count the miles

            from there to here

            and back again

and the years that they’ve taken

and I’ve given away

from you.

But out there

and in here

            while finding myself

            while missing you

I have only myself

and the moments and memories

we have shared

and only the road

gives them back to me.
