a compelling journey.

to the east,
morning rays glow,
waking my dreary eyes.

i shield myself,
from another day,
and gaze towards the west.

i know youre somewhere that way,
and i wish i could just start walking,
until i walk right back into your arms.

i could take all 2,599 miles,
or maybe we could just meet in the middle,
the middle of nowhere,
safe and hidden from everyone else.

we could run away,
from all responsibilities,
hand in hand.

needing nothing,
but love,
and each other.
