Speed Bump
Folder:
The Seasons Were Ours it crosses the speed bump
and the bus enters the stop
he feels the slide of his goosebumps
after his heartbeat jumps
he takes a deep breathe
he wants it to last
this moment has been dragged out
he doesn't know what's coming next
he crosses the speed bump
and then he crosses the street
he bobbles the pay phone hook up
and watches a quarter skip
over the pavement
making circles
he lets it come to a stop
and then he gathers himself
he takes a deep breathe
he wants it to last
this moment has been dragged out
he doesn't know what's coming next
she crosses her fingers
and says she's driving on out
he feels the slide of his goosebumps
fully for a little while
he sits on a sidewalk bench
it's a typical december first
weatherwise but he doesn't care
but he's still waiting for her there
he takes a deep breathe
he wants it to last
this moment has been dragged out
he doesn't know what's coming next
he gets back to the phone
says she sorry can he get a cab
upset but he lets it go
he arrives in front of her home
he takes a deep breathe...
inside she is so quiet
outside her face expresses
he sits there with patience
but she rushes off
he takes a deep breathe...
and that's how the day goes
her dodging looks
and such a quick hook
he asks her if they are a mistake?
she doesn't say a thing at all
she keeps it inside
but he sees everything
he tries to hug her goodbye
(as night has closed in)
he takes a deep breathe
he wants it to last
this moment has been dragged out
now he knows what's coming next
he takes a deep breathe
he wants it to last
this moment has been dragged out
now he knows what's coming next
as she storms off mad!,...
before he touched her with both hands..
