Retelling tales, sparking curiosity without filter or rhyme,
By lifting our voices through laughter and experiences,
Deep breathes and nervous giggles dissolve any mishap.
Driving highways towards destinations unknown,
Arriving for a night’s stay, just after sunset,
Night welcomes time for nourishment and a quick nap.
Inviting casual morning conversations,
About where to go, but not making the day’s plans,
Leaving it all to chance with a dash of intention.
Gradually the first excursion is within sight,
Anticipation and excitement quickly grow,
Into racing childlike heart beats and bellyaching laughs.
Chatting, deciding where to go, what to see first,
Intending to seize all of the day’s offerings,
As if the day’s activities had been well-rehearsed.
Taking our time, as if it were planned choreographs,
His voice never pretentious, he shares what he knows,
Explaining how relationships aren’t created overnight.
A bond which is built on trust and occasional disagreement,
Welcoming friendship, enduring both our lifespans,
Through tales sparking curiosity and candid revelations.
In talks of our next journey, we forego a map,
When planning a new adventure around the same time, yet,
Knowing a road trip just wouldn’t be the same, if done alone.
In a hurried instant, our journey is under-wrap,
With a shared promise of faith and no pretenses,
Guaranteeing a road trip will be due in one year’s time.
