That night

It was dark outside
after all it was night
we decide to run a little
just a small competition
I took off the sandals I was wearing
and started running in the darkness
I didn't care of the race
I didn't care if I lose
I was more focus on the moment
the felling that I had
was something I know I won't find
like a door in my soul I open without knowing it was there
for the first time in my life
I felt free
like I could do anything
and for the first time
I saw the light in the darkness
I saw the beauty of it
I kept running even when the race was over
I kept running and running like there was no tomorrow
I knew that my legs were in pain
my naked feet were hurting
but I didn't felt any of it
I just kept running
and even in the moment that I couldn't anymore
I wanted to keep going
but my legs were stuck
my heart wanted to explode
I try to run again
but I couldn't breath
I wanted that feeling in my chest
I wanted it again
I wanted to keep going
but I couldn't
my body wouldn't respond
I know that
that moment won't come back
that freedom
that light
I swear I was flying in the night
in that moment I could be anything
I could do anything
I saw the stars shining
I knew that was my place
but in the moment my legs stopped
the feeling too
and with it
the hope that I could move on
