Drive Me Home

I’d like a ride home,

if you don’t mind,

in your car;

I’m still learning to drive.

Could we turn the radio on?

Let me choose the station.

Yes, I like this one;

it reminds me of you.

You don’t have to drive fast;

there’s no rush

for me

to get home.

There’s no need to take

any shortcuts;

I actually prefer

the long way around.

 

Would you mind if I

slipped my hand into yours?

Would you mind if I

leaned my head on your shoulder?

Can you see the pale moon

through the windshield?

Yes, it’s so beautiful;

I can see your face there.

Let’s talk about ourselves,

the hates we have towards life

and the likes,

but there is only one love.

I enjoying sitting by your side

as you push the accelerator

because you’re nervous

yet hungry for more.

Just as you stop

when we reach my house,

you wave a sad goodbye

but I’ll leave you with a kiss

because I want you to know

that I’m thankful

for everything you’ve given to me-

for all your love-

and that next time

when you drive me home

we won’t stop

until we’re lost in the night.
