I’m running, I’m running,

My heart is teetering,

I’d been running from alone

long before I ran these streets.

I’m still running.

I pass throngs of people,

A fleeting presence

In my periphery.

In each of them,

I look for you,

But my heart knows

None are the missing piece I seek.

The clouds dissipate,

Just for a second,

It ignites a light

I’d previously thought dead.

I stood there on the sidewalk,

With only your voice in my head

A melody I already knew.

I blinked, and that’s when I saw you.

I knew it was you

Because your eyes said

You knew it was me.

Olive green

On porcelain skin,

A blessed mole,

A playful pimple,

In that moment,

I knew I’d found home.

I’d seen you before

When I closed my eyes,

I see you now

When I live my dreams.

Red dress, green dress,

Blue dress, white,

I’ve seen you

A thousand times now.

But each time I see

Your lovely eyes,

I am reminded of that time

When my heart found

What finally felt like home.

I’m running, I’m running,

Only now it’s with you.

We’re still running
