Lovers on a wild ride.
You know the feeling.. The anxiety like a knot in your stomach.. Words you don't want to say, yet you have to say. Not sure what will come next. You're getting closer, then you DROP. You're holding on for dear life. Afraid. Things moving so fast. You can barely see as things go by. You can barely even think. But you can scream, so you do. Often times inside, not to be heard by the person beside you. Up. Down. Unseen twist. Random turns. Wow, just wanting off this ride. Regretting your decision to get on this ride. Sooo much reg.... Wait, things are slowing down. I can see the end. I know the next turn. The fall isn't so big. Ok, I can do this. The worst is behind me. My mood lightens, as do my heart & body. Wow, the end is just up ahead & I can breathe. The person beside me can breathe. We look at each other. We smile. It's over. We can barely remember what just happened. Hand in my hand, we step off. Walk away. Laugh, reflecting on what just happened. "Did your heart drop on that *one* turn?!" "YEAH! What about the slooow climb up, then drop!?" On & on, we reflect on the wild ride. Love, like a rollercoaster. The momentary fears we both held passes & now we're all smiles again. Love, it's definitely a wild ride.
