At first I was just running, and no one could keep up. It was thrilling. I felt so powerful, like no one could stop me or control me. But in reality I couldn't control myself. All I wanted was those nights of running, those nights of disappearing into the darkness. It felt like a dream that I’d been needing, a dream that would help me figure out all the confusion in my life, and that would change him, change how he felt. and I wanted more than anything to be inlove again. I hoped that those nights would make us closer. But I know now that I can’t change him. But in reality this dream or longing was just a nightmare. But nothing went as planned, it never does. Then I started craving those runs even more. Like that was the only thing that let me breath and let me have a tiny bit of satisfaction or happiness. Once i new I could get away with this, once I new I could control everyone around me, and I could do anything I want, I stopped caring about everything. because nothing else mattered. but those runs. I began to forget about what life really meant to me, and what really mattered. I was to busy controlling everyone else, that I didn't know how to control myself and how to understand and dominate my feelings. I was thriving for attention, for love, for help. But i began to grow weak each day, because at that point nothing was ever enough. I then understood that I couldn't let one person change me into the person i swore I would never become, I couldn't let someone crash the mountain that I’d been creating over years. So I broke it, I broke the bound we never had, the bound I was thriving for, but could never quite find. But even then I wanted to reappear in his life, to stay, because I didn't know how to live without his non-existent being. Even though I new being with him would ruin me. That’s the only thing I wanted. But then my answer that I couldn't quite think of appeared, like out of thin air, and it was a miracle because my feelings were like water drowning me. It was like there was a cloud pouring above my head and then It astonishingly disappeared, then there was my answer, right above me, floating and all I needed to do was reach for it.

Push the cloud away and you will see all your answers
