If I Told You I Were To Run Away

Would you come with me?
Would you hop into my passenger seat
And navigate while I drive
Even though we don't know where we're going?

Would you come with me?
Would you eat the crap food I buy
Because it's cheap and easy to cook
And still say, "Dinner was delicious, babe"?

Would you come with me?
Would you use up any spare change we find
And shove more than a quarter's worth of clothes
Into a laundromat washing machine?

Would you come with me?
Would you be willing to spend cold nights
Curled up with me in the back of my car
Because we have no cash for a hotel?

Would you come with me?
Would you be willing to let me kiss you
Before I fall asleep and when I wake up
Even though we both have morning breath?

Would you come with me?
Would you leave your family
Your friends and familiar safety behind
For a little while to go with me?

I want to run away
But to be honest,
I'd only go if I went
With you, dear.
Written 4 November 2011.

Even after all this time, dear, I feel this way.
