every turn I took
that led me away from you
was right.
it took me to a place where the flowers don't smell like blood and bone.
you fertilised something better than the sum of its parts.
that road has led me back to you now,
and I'm trying to show you the route.
but going forward for you means going back for me;
after all, somebody has to drive.
and what I learned on this journey was that I'm more than your machine.
I'll stop here for a while and be with you all,
but I'll leave when I'm ready.
and if you ask I'll tell you the path I followed,
but I'm not going to lead you there.
I hope you find that lost highway,
and I hope that we can be together again when it circles back to bring you to the place you left.
it'd be nice for you to know that flowers don't have to smell like blood and bone.
it'd be nice for me to be able to share that with you.
I do love you all.
