One day I will finally turn back and look at her. I can’t look back just yet. I don’t want to see her. I don’t want her to see me. I don’t want them to see me. When I finally escaped, I did not believe the first step. I was running in place behind a closed door. And now I’m miles away, out of danger, but I cannot stop running. I cannot slow down. I cannot look back. One day I will turn back and look at her, And I will take her with me. And I will slow down for her.
