at 80 mph

I fell in love with you over a patch in my tires

and endless miles of highway driving

I fell in love with the bounce of your knee in the passenger seat

with the songs that you skipped as you controlled the aux

I fell in love with the tap of your fingers on the dashboard

with the feel of your hand on my knee

I fell in love with the way that you would get out of the car at the gas station

to fill my tank as the low fuel light glowed

while I made faces at you from the window

I fell in love with you at 80 miles per hour

running over the speed limit all the way

I fell in love with you at every stop

every destination

every moment in between

every moment after
