I was standing on the platform
The train was leaving
She was leaving
We had a year of crazy love
She was everything to me
My heart was bursting with despair
She was going to the mountains
To a clinic
To help her with her speech impediment
Her ‘t’s always sounded like ‘s’s
The train started to move
I started to run with it
I could see her at the window
Watching me running
Her soul flooding with tears
I could see her mouthing my name over and over
Somas, Somas
Of course my name was Thomas and she always struggled with that
As the train started going faster and faster
I expected I’d drop off and she would be gone
But I realized that I was keeping up
I realized that the train was now going at full speed
And I was running along right beside it
People were noticing it
I realized something I had never realized before
I had super human speed
I could run as fast as the train!
People were now going crazy and taking pictures and videos
She was watching realizing that we would be together
As my speed was endless and I’d just run forever
I was thinking along a little different path
At this point I realized my potential for stardom
And that I was going to be a hero
‘The Flash’
And I slowed down and turned and ran like lightening back to the station
Forgetting about her
And realizing that fame and fortune awaited me
And soon my heart was bursting with anticipation
With the new people I was going to meet
And I’d soon be dating a supermodel
Who could pronounce my name the right way
She’ll be fine
Up there in the cold mountains
Her tongue twisting painfully in her mouth
Spitting out words with ‘t’s in them
Maybe we’ll cross paths again
If I go hiking in mountains with my supermodel friend ‘Theresa’
That would be fun
