{Runner}

The late night talks on a midsummer night, the moon shinning down and enveloping a room of darkness with light. There was nowhere to hide, it was you me, the moon, our cellphones and everything else at once. Close your eyes and imagine what it could have been if it was...

You got that nasty orange soda, I got coke, with the few cents remaining we bought mike n ike. It was a bad idea to pour them in our cans, everything was so sweet and nasty at the same time. We fought our emotions like the beetles I dislike;screaming, running, you and me we are alike.

The last time I saw you, your eyes didn't twinkle like they once had..

We were blinding emotions with the brightness of our smiles. What a façade. You and me we kept on playing this game. We kept on going nowhere, until we found our way. 

Running on different paths.

I came to a stop.

I look back.

Wondering where you've gone? what you been doing? is she nice? because I am the one left behind.

Do you still remember seeing the sunrise, when we were so far apart? Do you still remember making me laugh, because you knew I felt like shit deep inside?

Maybe you don't, because maybe, I am the only one still hanging on. 

So today I swallowed the bittersweet aftertaste and reminded my heart that you were a runner. You ran when I fell over, you ran from our moments, you ran from my heart,

and now we both run from each other.
