Timetable Soulmates
June 1, 2021
Time is of the essence
they say.
So we run and hop
between obstacles.
Trying to find our footing on
the crumbling uneven pavement.
The farther we run
the more it seems to
vanish.
My knees are sore, we say.
So, a seat we take.
The bypassers only give
a scornful glance.
Judgment felt from a mile away.
Getting up is a dizzying mess.
Heat seems to rise off our cheeks.
Our breath is ragged,
knees still sore,
but, at least
I still have
you.

Fan of romance and thought these characters are adorable. I'm so sorry for the predetermined expectations of society. I know life can be tough, but at least there are always people to take and give a shoulder to.
