going+too

We made it just under the wire

we made it when it counts the most

second place could not exist

between us,

there is no consolation prize

for the time+energy expended,

the effort was surely worth

the pain of waiting

for there is no compensation

for fluidity and perfection

its poetry of emotion

there simply is no place

where love and sanity

can be coexistent for us

the urge to go there

is far too strong to go there

...half+way...

our history

is far too strong

to shilly+shally

damn the torpedoes

let’s just

do the damn thing,

get it done right

for the first time

run

and don’t look back,

stop

fighting these feelings

once we go there

you will never

even think

of going

back
