California
I had lived in California for two years
but it wasn’t until
I had moved 3,000 miles away
and came to visit you for a weekend,
as we drove down the 5
in your friend’s Jeep
with the windows down
sunshine radiating off every wild strand of our hair
snapping at the perfect moment in “Roses”
giggling from all the weird looks we were receiving
that I finally felt
like this state
was where I was supposed to be
