The Long Way

Driving on a sunny spring afternoon.

Spotify playlist lands on Bohemian Rhapsody.

“Daddy, I like this song!”

My 3 year olds voice from the back seat.

Windows down.

We miss a couple of turns.

Add We Will Rock You, and Champions to the queue.

The Long Way

Taking the long way, just us two

Having fun, just me and you

Early still, one more song

Loud and proud, we sing along.

One small moment.

Now- the song ends too soon.

God help me, my hearts not ready,

When one day it’s you who’s driving,

And me in the passenger seat, praying-

You’ll take the long way home.
