sitting in the back of a tandem bike is the scariest thing in the world

i sat on the back letting by my boyfriend lead

on uphills i would pedal with all my might eventhough i knew that i wan't helping

on downhills
i would grab the handles feeling my hands sweat
and convince myself to trust him
and let him lead
and try to scream the fear out
and glance about only to see the back of his white t-shirt
white?!

i gave up
simply standing was a much easier way to chicken out
