wish you were here

maybe road trips wouldn't be so hard if the humming of my tires on the road didn't remind me of the way you hum in your sleep, or if the fading sun didn't make me recall a time when we sat on your back porch and laughed until the sun fell asleep, or if the warmth of the vents at my legs didn't feel like I was sitting cozily next to you on the couch after dinner at your parents' house last Christmas. maybe road trips wouldn't be so hard, if i knew the place i was headed had you in it.
