I have all my friends here with me, my dearest friends. The only ones I’ll ever need. The love of my life right across from me…this is all and more, am I so blessed?
In the back of this black little car, with the top down we ride. Riding down the streets with happiness at our side no one could stop me. Though we gain too much speed says the speedometer. Though it doesn’t matter the law can’t prohibit me from my happiness. With my friends at my side no one can stop me.
An arm comes around me; he looks over with me with a grin on his face. I know why he has such and happy grin. I can’t help but to smile back, in acknowledgement of his victory. Clouds of blue above my head, and radio just right he tells me to lay my head back with him and look at the sky.
The sky…something so much more radiant then I, though I have been told I stand up to the beauty of the mountains and more important than the air we breathe itself, I could never compare to the majestic sky. Then again I do not stand up to any of those things…The sky, should I dare to look up at its starring blanket of blue?
Though I do as he says and I tilt my head up with him, so shocked and dazed by it. My eyes soften as I gaze into the distance of the unknown, imagining if only it could always be this way. If only this one simply complicated wish could come true.
The blue array of colors bursting from the sky, look down on me making me feel so little. Sun rays burst through puffy white clouds hitting my emerald eyes making them glimmer in the sunlight. With the wind blowing strong in our long hair we rode on. Riding on into uncertainty together this summer day we do not falter.
Making our hair dance in the current, I do not even care if it flows in my face. My hair ruffles between my eyes not wanting me to be able to glance at its graceful power. Though the clouds are so beautiful I wish I could just hold one in my hand…or be up there in blissful joy, but I have my happiness all right here, I do not need a simple cloud.
My two best friends and lover look up with me, as we stare into its radiance with a sigh. Tilting my head back to place with a glow of joy and security, I look over to the other seat past my best buddy to look at his eyes memorized in the skies wonder.
The one I love so desperately across from me, my best friend with his arm around me…and my best buddy in front of me. My heart filled with such joy and gratitude…I love them so much. I don’t know what I’d do if I ever lost them.
Though I will never lose them, I’ll make sure of it.
Then a thought pops into my head…no…not a thought a realization. Such a simple thing really, but it means more than you think it does. In this one moment…of the earth’s long life span, the realization time is perfect.
I realize... that these are the moments that make life worth living.

The lines are really long but I gave no rules in that matter.
Good luck and thanks for entering -
Interesting
This was an awkward poem, the length of the lines made the flow really awkward and hard to focus on the poem rather than the line itself, still it has potential stretch out the lines more.
for example
"Then a thought pops into my head…
no…not a thought a realization.
Such a simple thing really,
but it means more than you think it does.
In this one moment…of the earth’s long life span,
the realization time is perfect."
Since it is a free verse poem it allows the reader to read and view the poem not just the line(s)
