It was the middle of July
We sat on the porch and watched the day turn into night
Sipping our cold brews and contemplating life
Listening to the crickets chirping in the far away distance
The Milky Way filled every inch of the warm summer night sky
Shooting stars left and right
Nothing but empty fields in front of us
So many miles away from city life
That night we promised each other we would be different
We wouldn’t succumb to societies decisions
We would forever be:
Young at heart
Wild like the West
And free as can be
We would dance like everybody is watching
The world is our stage
Chasing sunrises
Riding the endless desert roads
Wind in our hair, sun-kissed skin and flushed cheeks was our motto
I laughed and said, you know, we wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t pursued you
You grinned at me and said, I’d like to believe we would have fallen into each other one way or another
We lay together, the lovers, faults and all, intertwined.
