Long and Winding Road

Love,

Here I am again, at your door. It’s as almost as if I’ve never left. No matter where I go I always end up here no matter how hard I try. It’s like all roads lead to Rome, all rivers fall to the sea, all the birds fly south and  my heart always comes back to you.

We’ve had our ups, we’ve had our downs, we had a great great run. So many memories, good and bad. So much happy and so much sad. Every moment spent flying sparks at each other, on the flipside, had a moment of quiet bliss, nestled in loving arms. We were together on that long and winding road so long. For every curve and bend, there would always be that long stretch of straight and narrow, where I’d watch the sun shine through your hair and all would be right with the world as we laughed and exploded in happiness hurtling down that road of life with the cool wind strong in our faces.

But I always took the back roads, so many bends and twists and turns, so hard to keep straight, so hard to keep upright, when what I should have given you was the cosy smooth sail you came for. You didn;t sign up for  that. You didn’t ride with me for the whiplash, and the crash. That’s when you left. That’s when I went on alone.

And I did go on. I tried. But with noone to guide me along, I got lost so many times. Trudging on through darkness and fog, and through the rain and the storms. But I kept going. I kept going on because no matter where I was, this life, this long winding road I’m on, it always comes back to you. I always come back to you. Because its always been you and you are always where my life will lead to.

So please, don’t keep me waiting here. Lead me to your door.

For the Indie Ink Writing Challenge this week, Sheree challenged me with “The ‘Long and Winding Road’ by the Beatles is the inspiration for your story.” and I challenged Major Bedhead with “the dog’s meow”.

This really didn’t come out like I hoped it would. I got a major dose of writer’s block on the prompt. Ultimately i just started typing, with no filters, almost on the end of the deadline and this is what came out of it.
