The Lonely Highway

Wish I could fly to you       
but what if there is no other choice        
Driving my budget vehicle        
with a compact backpack        
and a navy-blue notebook        
I traverse        
from the earth to universe        
from Taiwan to Venus        
       
I promised that     
never let you shed a tear     
therefore, I put my car in gear     
The view outside fades away        
images of you come my way        
memories, passions, loneliness        
running along the highway        
 
This highway has been frosty        
Athens, Dallas, Los Angeles        
it’s snowing in every city        
At a strange spine-biting street        
my shaking hand spilt a hot coffee        
left a scarlet scar on my knee          
       
I am like Saint-Exupery and the Little Prince        
looking for some precious faiths  
somewhere beyond the extreme     
something lies in my dream     
I know they are in you        
and I believe it's true        
       
I am like an ancient pilgrim        
across the Arabian Desert        
A believer who forgot beliefs after birth        
bleeding one’s knees        
staggering through the journey        
strewn with glass pieces        
to reach the sacred place        
       
On the lonely highway        
somewhere, still far way        
moonshine, sunrise, sunset        
It’s snowing at every station        
I am wondering        
you must be my destination
