I stare out the passenger window somewhere over West Texas
The North Star shines brilliantly.
I think of you and my heart soars.
Knowing we see the same sky and follow the same star brings me comfort
I yearn for you.
A tear collects in the corner of my eye,
My throat tightens.
Our journey began five years ago.
A road filled with growth, compromise and love.
I feel you with me as our distance increases,
I can smell you,
I can feel your hand in mine.
Each adventure I embark on is a search for myself.
I crave inspiration in sights and sounds of a different wind,
A new landscape.
I search for me but,
I've discovered everything looks a bit barren without you.
Snow glimmers, sunsets burst over the horizon , the moon rises in the desert sky.
I look over my shoulder expecting you to be there.
You aren't there.
I spot the North Star over the sky in Arizona and I smile.
He can see you too.
