Sometime during the fall of 2006

Running in laps
With lovers in the distance
And hummingbirds with goals
Everyday you run in laps
Out of breath, gritted teeth
I step out of pre-conceived notions
And overheard discussions
Time slows and I realize the finish line approaches
Day after day you run in laps
I may have reached the end of the road first
But who really won?
Who really made the most of those 1500 meter days?

------

Best friends continue in their stride
While you run in place
You may enjoy the scenery
You may find who you love
But somethings pulling on you
Your hands clench as you go weak in the knees
Frantic and lonely you begin to plan your escape
You begin...
