"Ben, what if they come looking for us?" she asked, her eyes wide and breathing abnormal.
He looked at her, studied her - making sure that she would follow him, wherever they might go. "I promise, they won't find us."
Leaving
Engrossed in what could have been, what is
the strongest emotion that anyone has yet to experience
But still, it was confusing,
it made haste of rash decisions.
They left, together, never to be seen by a familiar face
it was comforting, to run away from problems
To start anew, without anyone
no one, but themselves.
By the morning's light, they left
to go somewhere, anywhere, where reasons are not questioned
Where motives are not tested,
they risked everything they owned and had.
She could not stop the watery fluids
that came so heavily on her face
Her family, her friends, everything
she was giving up for him.
Even though, behind them lie a sea of hardships
they still felt attached to that which they once knew
But now, it was over
and the string of time that had been spun, was cut.
Dark was their past, futures should be brighter
this they were unsure of
But for the first time, and for what they had longed for,
they could be together, where no one held them down.
