going

there were
many times
when we were to-gether
that i had no idea
where we were going

the road
rolled out of an
endless spool
taking us further
and further
from your home

until i wasn't sure
what state
we were in

physically
as well as
mentally

but
when i leaned my head
on your shoulder

i knew i was safe

and
when i reached for
your hand
as we walked

i knew i was connected

and
when i closed
my eyes
and listened to
your voice

i could feel
the love
in every word that
you said

even if
all you were saying
was
"it's just around the corner....."

 home is just down the street
