He chased and ran- all day
to catch just- a slight glimpse
of what could be- right.
Thighs burned
marathon finished
and he’ll cherish that medal.
then it was time to swim
Mac said it best;
just need a way out-
he was drowning and now
he’s living
swim to chase.
He chased all day-
to catch a little something real
and well it was worth it
and day will only get better
and a brief time, won’t feel right,
and love will be worth a fight.
He ran all day
and saw a shooting -star-
he let a tear fall
on suede shoes
and he’ll remember this
for every step.
