I’m hurtling away from you
70 miles an hour towards midnight
the road behind me pushes hard
wrenching my arms that just held you
to the breaking
shaped now around a wheel
accelerating every second
a madman on a boat
sailing with hurricanes a blowin’
past specks of light
running into the growing distance
constantly rowing forward
I just want to stop
here
found on my door step
worlds away from you
You made great time
glowing words that flit through the aether
from you to me
but
I didn’t want to make any time
I wanted to stop it
while holding you
