sweat, dripping from my temple as my legs move at a repetitive pace. rushing through currents of wind, everything seemed to give way to my existence.

you've always been there for us. always, there for us. even when he had his flaws, even during times when you were led to believe otherwise, you've always been there. never failing, feeble you may have felt from the deceipt that was deeply regretted but you've always been there. always selfless.

lights swerving, faces blurred. i spotted a sillhouette of uneven ground ahead, "Run around it." i told myself. bam went the sound of metal on metal, as i took to my left at a building being erected. i felt the strain on my legs as i crossed the grandstand, "Just to that corner." i egged myself on.

i remember when we were kids, you'd hide gifts on that unassuming slot in the wall of that toilet. we'd run around try looking for it before christmas comes so we'd get to open our gifts early. whatever happened to days like that?

my heart was beating out of my chest as i took a rest while treading lightly. walk, past the monkey bars i walked. past the cars parked on the sides, and that fake beach volley thing they put up, i walked.

then i ran.
