Marathon...

"Marathon...a marathon. Your love making's like a marathon." (Click on link, and click #11, Marathon feat. Floetry)

DAMMMMMNNNNNNNN! When I first heard this song, I'm not even gonna lie, I needed a towel! "There's no need for batteries, once you've turned on your light..." GOSH! Shoulders hunched and a deep frown on my face, I'm in deep thought. Reminiscing about the last time I suited up for the long run with my significant other. Thinking about it being the equivalent of a marathon, "on and on". Hmmmmm....Wow. Yeah, that was nice. And yeah, when he did that. And I said...oh yeah (nodding my head).
Great metaphor Raheem DeVaughn! No 50 yard dash over here! A cross country-keep going until your body gives out....your chest rises and fall, your lungs swell and your body weakens. The end is near, but you're giving it your all so that the both of you can make it there together. We're on the same team, I remind myself! Don't be selfish!
Finally, the finish line tape rips across my chest. I get goose bumps. I fall into a trance and we look at each other, still panting...but our breathing slows down, and we smile as contenders at the same race. The excitement subdues into a calm and peaceful rest. I think I got there before he did! Which is good, isn't it ladies? : )
