A Thousand Miles from Home

5/10/24

A thousand miles stretch out, a ribbon in the night,

The hum of wheels whispers tales of love’s flight.

Each mile, a memory, each turn, a soft sigh,

The road unfolds like a starlit sky.

In the rearview mirror, your image fades,

A haunting echo of love’s sweet parades.

The distance grows, but my heart clings tight,

To the warmth of your hand in the fading light.

Love’s journey, a path of both joy and sorrow,

Leaving today with no promise of tomorrow.

Yet, in this heartbreak, where tears freely roam,

I carry your love a thousand miles from home.

The headlights pierce through the shroud of dark,

Illuminating the void where once sparked a lark.

Missing you already, though I’ve yet to depart,

The miles can’t measure the map of my heart.

Here’s to the love that we’ve spun and we’ve sown,

To the seeds of affection that have lushly grown.

Though I drive away, in your orbit, I’ll stay,

For love knows no distance nor night from day.

And when I arrive, where my roots call me back,

I’ll cherish the journey, not the things that I lack.

For in every mile and the spaces between,

Our love is a story, forever unseen.

Beneath the heavens’ grand, expansive dome,

Lies the open road, where my thoughts freely roam.

An asphalt canvas, under the moon’s soft glow,

Where dreams are chased, and the restless winds blow.

It’s a path of freedom where the spirit soars,

Across the plains, through the mountains, it roars.

A journey’s companion, silent yet bold,

The open road, with its stories untold.

In its vastness, I find a bittersweet peace,

As landscapes blend, and all troubles cease.

The open road, with its unending grace,

Guides me home to our cherished embrace.

With each passing mile, I feel less apart,

Though the road is long, it’s true to my heart.

For love, like the road, is a journey to dare,

A thousand miles, but I’m already there.
