Endless Roads

I made a drive to Portland for several reasons. To get away from Mills for the weekend, to forget my poor performance on my Pol.Phil. midterm, to visit Jenna (after nearly 2 years), to clear my head. But I came for Nick. He is the one I love and who I feel the most strongly for. It's unbearably overwhelming, nervewracking, so many other emotions that are incomprehensible right now. I've been driving all day and I am still up, almost too nervous to sleep, in fear that I will miss the call, telling me to get down to Saturday Market to surprise him.

(I seemed a bit "comma happy" in that last sentence...sorry.)

There's something about an open road that has always helped me to clear my mind. Even if it means hitting the road at 4.15 in the morning. Or perhaps it is the music, the lyrics that I always seem to find connection to...

Your name here/Believe me it's not what you think/Wish what you want/It's all the same to me/Well, not really/But anyway/Its just there's nothing so simple/Nothing so silly/Nothing so mundane

Go east on Sunrise Highway/Turn left at Carman's Avenue/Go right at the first stoplight/And I'll be outside waiting for you/Oh, I'll be waiting for you

Your name in lights/It was only a matter of time/Your name in parenthesis/You can't see/Cause after this mess/I guess you bet/That I'd collapse before you do/Well maybe that's true/Or maybe it's not at all

Go east on Sunrise Highway/Turn left at Carman's Avenue/Go right at the first stoplight/And I'll be outside waiting for you/Oh, I'll be waiting for you.
