It is difficult to out-sprint the deer
in love you said must try
i was a marathoner
unable to catch you
so i stood by the forested path
where you left me
holding on to the silhouettes
of dreams deferred
the village destination so close
standing beautiful against the sunset
our eternity grew up into nightmares
now,
good and whole and bubbly again
you take notice i see
but i am a marathoner still
so lets just love from a distance
it is safe this way
nobody gets hurt
a second time at least!
love after love
