Waiting, pacing back and forth,
the oxygen around me seems
suffocating.
Please, be here soo-
thunk
Narrowly missing my **** nerves.
The bedroom window!

"Hurry!"
I hear you urging me with an anxious smile and the beads of sweat trailing
down your neck,
cold heat.
Within minutes we are
running faster
than the midnight wind could ever carry us,
occasionally stumbling on our exhilaration,
but what was only short-lived.

Time stops only for those who realize it doesn't exist,
and I almost forget that the train doesn't stop
with
it.
Only seconds to spare...
"Push me when it comes."

Had I said it out loud? It echoes off the walls of the tunnel and reaches your
ears.
A look of horror crosses your face but you act with less
hesitation than
I had
expected.
