Mm…
One more turn
⸻
I missed the shortcut
Without a thought
The radio faded
Before the song
Windows half down
Morning breeze
Nothing called me
Still I turned
⸻
Every signal
Every lane
Feels familiar
Without your name
⸻
I take the long way
One more corner
One more light
Like my hands
Know more than I
I take the long way
No destination
Just the road
Taking me
Where I don’t know
⸻
A coffee stain
Beside the cup
Someone laughed
A block away
The mirror caught
A passing sky
I looked twice
Then drove by
⸻
No reason left
To slow down
Still the wheels
Don’t ask me now
⸻
I take the long way
Every street
Breathes the same
Like the city
Kept your shape
I take the long way
Until the sunrise
Finds the seat
Beside me
Empty again
⸻
Maybe roads
Remember first
Long before
The heart does
Maybe moving
Looks like this
Without knowing
Why
⸻
I take the long way
Less each morning
Than before
But not today
I take the long way
One more turn
One more light
Then the silence
Drives with me
⸻
No destination
Only distance
