words i'll never say

08: I Give Up

I Give Up

My lungs are crying for air,
My legs are all bruised and battered,
Who knew my heart could beat so fast?
Who knew my hands could get so shaky?
Your silhouette is there in the distance.
If I could just reach you,
I will help you see how much you mean to me.
As we've been running for days,
Months,
Years,
I don't know if I'll be able to keep up anymore.
I hold onto the flowers you drop for me as we go,
I search for the promises of forever on your sweat,
I smile when you'd turn your head to make sure I'm still coming.
On your bare back,
I can see the promise of our future,
motivating me not to give up.
But if our future was so determined, why are we still running?

This one kind of sucks, I'll probably fix it up later, but it's so meaningful to me. Especially after going through this break up I told you guys about. If you don't know, I got broken up with because I caught my ex cheating. So ironic.
