Saying Goodbye...
I ran for you.
I ran in our city.
I hurt for you.
I cried for you.
I felt you with me.
Your imprints were everywhere.
Do you realize, what you're missing?
I could hear you.
Sometimes I dream you're still alive, and it was just a big joke you played.
Did you really know what you were choosing?
Are you sorry that you came here?
I ran past the places we ran together.
I ran past the place where I realized you were never going to write to me again.
I ran past the place where we'd sit and have lunch together.
I ran so fast, even though my back and heart were broken.
A spectator held sign that said, "Run for the world you wish to see." and I wept for you.
You're missed here on earth.
You made a difference.
You were loved.
When I crossed the finish line after 13.1 miles, I couldn't stop crying.
Why did it have to be goodbye?
So many reasons for me to quit, but I didn't.
I wish you didn't.
Life goes on.
I can tell you that I'm fine, because I'm made of flesh and bone.
Promises of a new day rise in my heart.
I will let the people here love me today.
Today I will rest.
Tomorrow, I will run for the world I wish to see, and smile knowing that you were once a part of it.
Rest now.
Goodbye.
