And after facing the sun in all its glory for so long, squinting, trying so hard to keep up and stay in the right lane, attempting to get there safely with him cheering you on the whole way there, at the end of the road, you will have to turn around. You will have to drive away from what got you there in the first place.
You will drive away alone.
And after you round the corner and he can't see you anymore, the tears come, writing down your cheeks all the things you wish you had said but forgot because it all happened so fast.
And even though it hurts and you can't see the sun anymore, you can still feel it on your back, warming you through, reminding you of what there is to come, and then your tears will wait...
until next time.
You write beautifully.
