i get lost in your eyes
::Cold and all alone,I see the tail lights fade,
Standing in the road as it rains,
You know you're far from home.::
"what if i get stuck on the road?" i asked as we stood in the rain together next to my truck. the mud was deep in his front yard and the gravel road was washed over from the storms.
"i'll stand out in the road and watch you go. if you stop then i'll know you're stuck and i'll come pull you out," he said.
*****
tonight i read his words.
"what does the 'you know you're far from home' mean?" i asked.
"you," he said. "you're my home."
