Lonely Road

I remember this road.

This road brings back so many memories.

I remember counting the marks on the road as I struggled to keep my eyes open.

I remember the road markers reflecting the bright light, straight into my eyes.

I remember the giant night bugs hitting the windscreen.

I remember watching for the animals that may cause us to crash.

I remember how different this road is at night, with only the car lights shinning the way.

I remember looking at the vineyards at seeing the cars that weren't actually there.

I remember that night when we were all scared.

I remember how well they worked as a team and how proud we were to call them Mum and Dad.

I remember the relief we felt when we realised it was just a bird and the nervous laughter that followed, it was somehow off.

I remember the thrill of driving in the darkness.

I remember you.
