I could not run any faster
could
not
and just sprinted
like
mad
including to
bound up the stairs
like
a lighting bolt
only
to pant
and
say nothing
not
a
thing
when
she
opened
the
door
“You are
out
of breath
are
you ok?”
I just bent over
nodded
nodded
couldn’t talk
just nodded
Put my hand on her shoulder
put my hand there
and mouthed
tried to say,
“Love you
love you!”
