I was driving back into the city tonight
Portland’s skylight has always captured my heart
Trampled by Turtles’ song “Midnight on the Interstate” came on and my mind shifted to a year ago
I was so unsure about myself
About the woman I was with
and about probably every fucking thing that could possibly cross my mind
Flash forward and I’m walking into a reading at an art gallery
People here to see and listen to me
and I’m reading about her
What we had, what we were, and now what we are
Am I happier?
I’d like to think so
Given the chance I’d love to hold her one last time
As my set comes to an end
Tears in my eyes
My heart on my sleeve
I’ve never been more sure I’m where I belong
