Red Lights and Long Nights

Hearts beating
Wheel shaking
The wind
Coming through the open window
Drowned out
My thoughts.

Driving
So fast
Getting
No where

A red light
Inturrupted
Our joy ride
We had to come to terms
With the
Situation.

Grabbing
My hand
He said
We'd make it

I stared
Into his eyes
And I knew
It was going to be
A very
Long ride.
