I finally get it.
I'm not running away-
I'm running to.
I'm running to the same place I always am.
Only literally.
I'll go but I'll be back,
Escapes can't last forever.
I'll come back to guitar strings,
To homemade rings,
To the songs I sing late at night in my dreams.
I'll come back to our spot by the water,
To our kingdom in this world,
To the place I feel safest.
I'll come back to little lights hanging in my room,
To late-night talks,
To feeling closer to these people than ever before.
But I'll also keep running.
Keep chasing what I want,
And I'll take you with me.
I'll take you all with me.
Because I don't want to run away-
I want to run to.
I want to run to the stars.

A/N: I'm not entirely sure that this will make sense since you don't know exactly what I'm talking about, but I really like this poem lol. I wrote it a few months ago and it just makes me smile :)
Thank you so much for reading this poem, it means a lot. To all of you reading seriously, thank you. The fact that you want to read these things written from my heart just amazes me. Even if I only get a few reads I will still be utterly grateful.
Love,
Sunny <3
