the long way.

we call it “taking the long way.”
paper cups of hot chocolate. mixed tapes. open windows in the summertime, blasting heat in winter. and just a few extra minutes to finish a story, to cry over unrequited love, to commiserate about our parents.
an errand to get a gallon of milk turned into what you really needed all along.
{and here, a really good song about just this sort of thing}.
