Electric

It was electric. The way we weaved in and out of the dark shadows and found safety on the black tarp. Paranoia occasionally creeping and misplacing our thoughts but all together we were there. We were breathless not for lack of oxygen nor breath but for what now lay between us. This was all left up to the chance of one heart. The pressure bore down on us but this was pressure so light that it was almost weightless. We floated up to the stars and we moved the constellations around. When we came back down it seemed like we knew where we were but at the same time our footing was off and we tumbled back onto the black tarp. We laid there in shambles for a while laughing softly in hopes that we wouldn't wake the sleeping ones and give away where we had landed. We hugged goodbye and a peck on the cheek made me once again feel electric. I felt weightless and I once again floated away...without her this time back to my home away from home.
