Crashed into a                Crashed into a
brick wall                    brick wall
yesterday...                  today...
trying to pace                trying to recapture
him in our                    his attention
mad race to                   which was just
The Highway...                beyond my
we were cruising              speed limit...
at highs I'd                  Only two miles
never thought                 per hour
attainable...                 between this
in the rush                   insufferable
of excitement                 depression
and happiness,                and the
we took a                     euphoric high
wrong turn...                 that only he
before I knew                 could help
what happened                 me reach...
He was running                to race with him
a new race with               to The Highway
a new challenger...           again...
And I blindly                 I'd ram that
collided with                 damned brick wall
the nightmare                 today...
that foretold                 and tomorrow...
of "our" end...               and tomorrow...
