That feeling...

Running is all I can remember doing. I don't even know were I'm going, or were I'm heading. All I can say is that I'm trying to escape, by running away from everything. Some might think I'm weak or even crazy... But that doesn't matter anymore does it? I guess it's all away from me now, at lease I hope.

It has been two hours now, two hours that I have been running. My coach has always told me that I had good endurance but at this time, I coudn't go much further. I can't feel my legs. It's so cold, I want to come back home. Hey! You can't keep going on like this. You have a family, a life...

~You missed 14 call(s) from Maria~

... But I can't go back.

- Hi. I'll take a room for one night with one bed, I said. I look inside my wallet; I sight, I barely had enough for one night.

The morning light hitting my face, I already feel it, the feeling of being forgotten. I can hear the birds chanting outside, feel the soft breeze taing away the good memeries. Just like that one time when all the family was having diner aroud the table and my love ones were all talking at the same time about nothing and everyting. But it's so quiet in this motel room, with ruffled bed sheets and my hair going in every direction... In that exat moment, everything seemed right, in that little moment of calm in which I stand. I still feel in a dream. Forgetting all my worries...

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Then BOOM! Back to squar one.

- Hello! It's the cleaning service!

I packed my bags quickly, put on a jacket and rushed out of the room, not forgetting to greet the lovely lady.

The outside world was crowding with all kind of people. Some are going to wrok, some are calling taxis. Business mans are talking on the phone and everyone are holding a freash hot coffee. Looking at my hands, I wish I had one too. I also saw a coupe walking and holdg hands... And I wished I could to. I felt like a ghost in this croweded street.

I spot a bench in a park and walk myself to it. I look around and see two kids playing. "So innocent", I thought. The wind that was gently hitting my face was refreshing. I look up and see the blue sky between the branches of a big tree. Some of the green leaves were falling and it was simply beautiful. Closing my eyes, I but my hands in my pockets and get lost in my thoughts, thinking o a world where I could sit here forever...
