From Out of the Blue (The Morning) Part 2

We arose early the next day, the sun not yet up. Coffee? Yes, we both had a few. Without a word for each other, we got ourselves ready, Knew exactly what we had to do. The bank would not open until about nine o’clock She needed money, lots, real fast. I planned to help her get it and send her on her way, But plans change, they never last. We got to the bank, in fact we were right on time. He was there with his men in toe. We noticed the group. They noticed us as well. We knew that we just had to go. Quickly we ran through the crowded city streets With the men, giving us a chase. We ducked in an alley and then through a door, Had time to breathe, but no time to waste. Peering out the window of the clothing store, where we hid, Looking for those still on the run. The coast was clear; we bought new clothes and changed. Somewhere, I had to go for a gun. We managed to get to a motel in order to lay low, Compile thoughts, just think. We planned an escape to get ourselves out of town Until we, each, had our first drink. It all came back, like a force of nature upon us The memories, the lust we shared. However, we had quite more, a friendship as well. Lust, now? We just couldn’t dare.
