The view soared for miles of straightaway with not another car in sight And we drove breeze roaring though the open windows no A/C for me, I prefer the fuel-injected hum drowning out Van Halen, ain't talkin’ ‘bout love, long hair stinging my face like needles as I turned to look at you face laughing, eyes gleaming and the tachometer inching upward And we drove suddenly, in that stolen glance, I saw myself in your eyes for the first time: sun streaked hair whipping crazily, tanned caramel legs long and strong eyes glistening, heart pounding every cell abuzz with adrenaline a wild thing running free And we drove through infinity our skin warm and golden from the setting sun rejoicing in the light and open sky we fit together like pieces of a precision machine torquing over the red line ecstasy by the side of the road And we drove Written February 21st, 2002 © on Feb 21 2002 06:07 AM PST   0 • 8
