There it was

The familiar yet unknown yellow dotted line

We followed it until we ran out of road

It was the best leader we could’ve had

Miles upon miles

Rest stops upon rest stops

Laughter that never ceased

We talked for 13 hours

Just you and me, the good and the bad

Awkward moments bled into the most memorable

Opinions were shared, insecurities spilt

Aspirations, fears, joys, pet peeves, and some weird facts joined in

We were vulnerable and it was scary

But the way you reacted to me, my truth, my feelings, my ways

Truly made me fall in love with you

We shared multiple gatorades and red bulls, when needed

Switching who drove after one of us would apologetically fall asleep in the passenger seat

It was like a movie, sunrise until sunset,

I spent looking at your attractive profile

I especially loved when you would glance over at me and give me a soft smile,

almost as though we were thinking the same thing...

Wow this has got to be too good to be true


I see you the next day and think I truly know you…

Do you actually hate when people walk slow and love peaceful spring mornings

Was is it all made up, a false reality, or was it God’s way of nudging me and giving me a wink

Hinting that I had found the one

I wish that my dream could one day become a reality

Endlessly and unapologetically following the yellow dotted line

The dotted line that leads us into our hopeful future together
