Run

We ran into the night, our footsteps back-lit by the cities burning behind us.
It wouldn't be until we stopped and caught our breath that we'd start to wonder about the ones that did't make it out.  Trying to wait as long as we could, we knew nowhere is safe right now, and it seems like the only way to stay alive is to stay moving, every time we stop even for a second it doesn't take a moment for everything to fall apart.  We haven't even gotten started yet, but already I can see some of the others start to fade as this chase goes on, and I can't help but think about the time coming around the corner when we'll have to make more of those touch choices.  the longer this goes on though, the less difficult they become, in the face of almost certain death, they only get clearer like crystal.  We'll keep this up tonight for as long as we can, but sooner or later we'll have to rest, and I don't want to think about what what will happen next.
