The Great Escape
We run so quickly through the crowded streets.
Dodging any obstacle that brings us grief.
Hand in hand we outran them all.
Side by side we could not fall.
The adrenaline surges and I exclaim:
“We beat them at their own stupid game!”
Like a kid in a candy store I jump for joy.
I see love in your eyes as you look on so coy.
I smile so wide and I laugh so loud.
I cannot control myself, even in this crowd!
Everything stops and we are alone in time.
The faceless masses walk right on by.
My heart beats faster as your gaze meets mine.
We kiss, we embrace. We greet the morning rise.
You cry and I try, happiness not the reason why.
A lucid dream to carry us through darkened skies.
