The drive wasn’t the best part
We got our water bottles and running shoes
And started hiking Mt. Yonah
I was breathing hard but so were you
Dragging our feet through the crunchy leaves
Slipping on icy rocks in the cold
Holding freezing hands not to fall
The journey wasn’t the best part
Being at the top seeing the majestic near-by mountains
The cars as small as ants
Wind howling at the top
And getting close to stay warm
The view too good to leave
Laughing the day away with jokes
The view wasn’t the best part
Deciding to hike back down to spend the day together
We ran all the way down
Laughing the whole way to the cars
Cranking up the heat when we got there
Getting to know each other deeply
Connecting over music and memories
You were the best part
The memories of the journey lingering in my mind
But the best things never last
