I wish the highway
would wash away from under me
taking with it
all these long seconds
so void of voice
lonely of laughter
I wish each patch
of broken asphalt and dirt
would lead me some bit closer
to the softness of your palms
to the slow drag of finger tips
I wish these roads
could lead me to a closer place
where I can dance and play
among those wild youthful eyes
I wish I could whisper my love
against the nape of your neck
instead of mumbling about it
in a restless sleep
Oh highway of wishes,
take me somewhere new
take me anywhere
just take me to you
