its a cloudy day
but the sun is in your heart
has been since you left
to drive the hundreds of miles to get to her
you imagine her lustrous brown hair
being wind-swept
as she stands beside the road
waiting for you
there are no doubts inside you
come, she said, simply
you're breaking every speed limit
in every state you come to
until you can finally put your hands on
the woman you love
it's been a long time coming
not without
people being hurt
matters not anymore
it's all about you and your woman
over twenty hours after you started
late afternoon
you know the way, she gave you directions
you feel like a fugitive
but there she is
standing where she said she would be
you stop the car
get out and simply stare at her
she wears a tentative smile
you stand still, your arms slack down at your side
she takes the first step
you start toward her
even as your heart blossoms
near the rupturing stage
she's in your arms
salty tears streaming down her face
onto your neck
blending with your own tears
neither of you capable of speech
you just hug
standing beside the road
oblivious to everything except two
wildly beating hearts
