Slowly pulling out of the station
this train is moving in the direction
I don’t want it to go.
Away from you.
With only a hint of expectation
I look for recourse and resolve,
planning my escape
without even wanting to leave.
I am torn.
I am anxious.
I am already missing you.
The rocking is not gentle.
The ride is not smooth.
Much like our adventure
withhopefullness
that we won’t ever derail.
Silent rails are disturbed
as they lay fastened to the ground
against the cold earth.
My thoughts of you
laying you down
against my warm bed
speeding, huffing, breathing, pacing
whilst you lay on your back
looking at me with bright eyes
waiting for validation
that you are the one –
the only one.
Accept my hesitancy as I roll over
so that I can choose my words carefully,
and my next actions
with extreme calculation.
Not to deceive you
but to receive you.
I’m aboard this speeding train
with its warning whistles
piercing through the quiet still night
now on its way back to you – Express.
