The Freeway

Accelerating

Braking

Taking over a car

Accelerating again

Trees past by me

Bushes ran through

Landscape changing

Some cars found their exit

But I haven't found mine

And on and on I drove

Looking for my exit

Night came

Then the sun rise

From the fleck of ray in the dark 

To the bright ball of fire in the sky

Then darkness come again

How long has it been

Days Weeks Years

I kept my eyes on the road

Wishing it would end soon

And on and on I drove

Looking for my exit

I pulled over on a ramp

Banging my fist to my steering wheel

The exit after this one

The exit after this one

But that exit never came

And these fools keep driving

For an end they cannot achieve

For the hunger they cannot satiate

For the race they cannot win

And I don't want to drive anymore

I don't want to look for my exit anymore

Then she passed

Speed easily on the free way

Unconcerned with the exits

I could stay in the ramp forever

Or I can go after her

I turn my car on

And accelerate

My feet on the gas

My mind on her

And on and on I drove

Looking for the woman

Till this day I am still driving

But I will never forget that day

When our cars finally aligned

She looked at me quizically

I rolled down my window

And dared myself to ask:

Where to?

She smiled and answer:

Anywhere you want to

And on and on I drove

Along with my woman

I will find my exit one day

I will find the end of this misery

But was it a misery when I can enjoy it?

Or was it a great big adventure?
