directions

my heart twists
like the roads
that carry me
to a new place
where there will be
many \"firsts\"
and plenty
of discoveries
and I wonder
as the distance
grows behind me
if you realize
I am always
with you
I look in to
my rearview
searching
as though
I half expect
to see you
standing there
with your
sideways smile
waving cautiously
so your heart
won't show
your inability
to let go
but I only see myself
and the tracks
I try to leave behind
knowing all the while
that everything
leads me to you...
