i remember the halloween carnival.
you wore a worn-out batman cape,
i wore my usual attire.
that day you were beaming,
you ran to the games out of excitement: it was the first time i saw you run.
today was the first time you saw me run.
but it was not in the same way as you.
i said my goodbyes,
and you stood in front of me,
an unknowing smile on your face,
and you waved goodbye
thinking things were all fine and dandy.
you were not aware i was running.
