Crash

And when I heard it, it paused my heart, and when I saw them run, it crushed me. And you were there, and overwhelmed, in my mind you grasped me and held me tight. And I saw in your eyes, and I felt in the air, that you'd never let me go. And it was pained, for it could not be so. And I had to stand and hope and wish and think, and like a snail, shrivel away, into a smile I did not mean.
