Underground

Time slows

Feeling like we're in a noir film

As you watch me

As I watch you

Circling

Before we jump the divide.

Then

We're racing through the night

Darkness pulsing around us -

Chasing us and this connection.

You take my hand

I urge you faster

The very things we're fleeing 

Tight on our heels.

You never let me falter

Only hold me tighter

Dragging me if you have to

Until we cross that threshold

Sweat soaked but safe

As you pull me tight and kiss me

Like there was a possibility of no tomorrow -

That we managed to survive 

Everything that tried to tear us apart.
