Windows down 

The wind blowing my hair out of my face 

My favorite song on the radio 

Sunset 

The adrenaline of taking a fast curve 

Or accelerating down a hill 

My smile so wide 

It splits my face 

My cheeks hurt 

My throat begins to burn 

As I sing as loud as I can along to the radio 

Sharp turns 

Orange skies and open roads 

Dust behind me 

Orange fades to blue and purple 

Slowly to black 

Diamonds start to dot 

The black velvet sky 

The music turns soft 

I slow down as the car pulls into a field 

Creaking car doors and cricket chirps 

Soft blankets on dry green grass 

Cool breeze  

Faint headlights from the highway 

A warm fire 

Hot chocolate 

Marshmallows and graham crackers 

Time fades 

Like the fire 

Into embers 

And eventually  

Into dark
