    tightened laces

        shoes perfectly fitting the form of his feet

    hood up

        protection from the harsh weather that awaits

    presses play

        the song that's been on repeat for days

    first step

        moving at a fast pace away from "home"

    long strides

        carry him and his troubles down the street

    green and white

        grass and snow fighting for superiority over the ground

    deep breath

        filling his lungs with frosty air

    quick exhale

        takes shape as a steaming cloud ahead

    passes through

        the cloud, the neighborhood, life

    pitter patter

        the sound and feel of his feet against the pavement

    each step

        another yard further from what he left behind

    eyes straight

        set on a point in the distance far ahead

    a goal

        that will be reached weary or strong

    push on

        keep the pace and continue until the end

    in and out

        each breath synchronized with each step

    burning chest

        one more obstacle to overcome on the way

    she's gone

        another past love to remember

    indecision

        two weeks too late to make a difference

    passed up

        and now it's his turn to run

    faster now

        like speed and distance can solve it all

    left, right

        a chant in his head to keep him from thinking of her

    but why?

        the start of the same topic again

    last stretch

        his body hesitates but his feet continue

    full circle

        back to her, back to "home"

    miles ran

        but still no closer to finding the answer
