Today is the day that my mind travels back
To a cold, January night
A rather spontaneous, unforgettable journey
Ventured into uncharted territory

Through a sea of traffic and tail lights, I drove
Fueled by butterflies
Revved in anticipation
Nervous excitement flooding my entire body

I prayed incessantly, for a safe arrival
News and weather a monotonous mantra
Clammy, death-grip...
