Above, the clear and endless dark
Below, the sidewalk pounding
Urging my feet, on through the street
Desperate steps resounding.

Onward, onward ‘round the bend
Running, never stopping
I cannot breathe, I need reprieve
Every joint is popping.

At last, ahead, a tiny light
Resolved to never weaken
Dim at first, but then it bursts
Shining like a beacon.

Leading me to what I seek
All that I was missing
And suddenly you’re next to me
And finally we’re kissing.
