run

run with me
i do not care where
the when is now
with the wind
and into places we have never been
faster than you can imagine
lets go until there is no further limit to reach
together we will speak
in a language only known as speed
swift
quick
step with purpose
when tomorrow comes
it will all be worth it
stretch every step
until the next is larger than the rest
stay light
stay heavy
anchor down when you are good and ready
forget breathing
we do not need it
at this rate
lungs are merely baggage
to drag us down
but we will run around it
faster than the speed of sound
i cannot here the music until i run through it
the air crashes
blasts against me
the wind leaves a whiplash
that will last for weeks
but that will not stop
my feet from following footsteps before
both you and I
the night tries to hold us back
but we break through the crack of dawn
and run
all day long
anywhere but here
we cannot stay steady
but run through the reflections in the mirror
going and going
rowing our arms through rivers of air
never slowing down
until we find what we are looking for
i could run for days
but i need you here
at my side
right by my movements
it isn't the same
if you are beyond my arms calling

darling
run with me
the where does not matter
our footsteps will run together
come out as one single sound
the air is not there
no not anymore
we have moved past it
into a world
where running is magic
and our legs have become spells
spent on souls whose bodies dwell still
spilling what speed we have left
into their feeble bones until
they turn to stone and
can find their way home
the same way we once did
