The Escape

All this running
Left me tired and worn,
Had no idea how far
I had run, or how long,
Then I saw you
From the corner of my eye,
Almost missed you-
In this rush to escape,
But who can deny
These hands of fate;
All it took
Was your radiant smile,
To make me stop
And stare awhile,
All the burdens and fears
Carried forward all these years,
Disappeared in a whim,
Difficult as they seem-
Now I feel like I'm floating
In a dream...
