The Rollercoaster

I waited in the line until it was my turn. I was fearful and I wondered, if it was going to burn. Still you fastened me in tight and then you took my hand. I closed my eyes and then we rolled in Never-ever-land. I loved it when we climbed that hill. My stomach churned as time stood still. Around the curve, we began to swerve . I felt so excited, elated and delighted. We were upside down and round and round. As we reached the peak I could hardly speak. Racing ever faster, you became my master. Then as we slowed down I noticed the tracks. I don't understand how I fell through the cracks. It was the ride of my life, that I must say, but I never went back for ten years and one day.
