Elevation... A beginning or downfall (Subway Submission Part 3)

Elevation... A beginning or downfall     (Subway Submission Part 3)





So after going through a day's ups

& downs in just the last hour,

things are halted again with a hand...

WHAT IF... this delay in your day was meant

to occur, what if this ONE minute was meant

just for you, for the two of you

to share in and either make another

impression on each other or to let pass

you by, only to wish for the moment back

years later... ONE minute in 1 life!!







He caught the elevator, just in time,

he knows this elevator takes its time to get

back down and the stairs were not on his mind,

not after the bad luck he had today.



The door slowly opens and... it’s her,

in his elevator, in his building...

He stood there dumbfounded until the door closed on

his shoulder and he had to come in, isolated from

to come and decided to prolong her misery.



The door slowly opens and... its him,



How quickly her expression changes on her face

and went from a face of gloom to a face of invitation

as3 she welcomes him into the elevator.

Being the one closet to the buttons and him sharing in

her shock, she makes the first move & asks "which floor?"







What comes next is shared by them, but I will

tell you this, they arranged to meet later on

that evening, on the ground floor where they

will share the walk they missed earlier,

to the subway, where it all started...







So as every story has an ending,

so must this tale of 2 souls

riding the everyday rails of life.

This story will not continue on

paper, but it may always continue on

in the back of your mind, where

you can choose which stops they make,

together or not, and also to which floor

their endless love will elevate to...
