this morning i saw a running man
his legs pumped faster than my heart
did i ever try to stop him
no
i just let him run
this afternoon i saw a running man
and he stopped when he saw me
but did i try to stop him
well
only once
this evening i saw a running man
this time i did stop him
and i asked him
"where are you running to"
what he said struck something inside of me
"well some say i am running to my grave
and some say i am making the worst decision of my life
but ever since he left
i have been nothing
so i am running to him"
i stared at him in awe
"do you know where he is"
it is too sad that i did know who he was talking about
so i led the running man to the one he was talking about
"but this is— this is just—"
but then he saw
he saw where we were standing
and he started to sob
because as the crow started to make noise
he saw the headstones all around him
and on the headstone we stood in front of
it said
"you ran to me
keep running
and just forget me"
