drifting

Friday, June 20

With his name resting on my tongue and images of a night soon to come on my mind, the city lights drift by as the melodies brush through my hair. The car drifts cooly and we laugh together, laughing with the comfort of close friends and knowing we are young and beautiful and strong. We know we will cry, we know we will be hurt, but tonight in this car, nothing hurts and there is nothing but hope and stars.

    1. Me too. There are some wonderful things but the majority of the things are stuff I didn't sign up for.

  6. I can see this little, intimate scene in front of me. I can feel it under my fingertips and smell it like a fragrance.

  9. There is nothing like driving in a car, driving through the world, just you, and those around you.

  10. I've been coming back to read this again and again, I can't explain it but it somehow just calms me and inspires me and fills me with good things. You're so great.

  11. sometimes the best thing in the world is driving at dusk (my preference) either with friends or by myself and just thinking, laughing, dreaming. it fills me up. there is a magic in the air that time of night. love this scene you painted.

  12. This is so beautiful! I love being a passenger in a car at night and just resting my head against the window and looking up at the stars. :)
