run faster. don't stop.

run faster. don’t stop.

You chase it.

It flew farther –

away from you.

away from the held out hands.

away from the shouted names.

Chase it.

Run faster.

Run after it.

It wouldn’t be back if you let it go.

You can’t lose it now.

Not when you can still chase it.

Not when you can still run.

Not when you know you need it.

Not when you know you can’t bear to see it leave.

Don’t stop.

No! You can’t stop now.

It’s inches from you.

What are you doing?

Don’t just stand there.

Don’t just look at it.

Don’t let it go!

…

Don’t let ME go.
