He ran.

She ran.

 

He ran faster.

They weren't running towards each other.

They wouldn't stop running.

 

It was never ending.

The chase.

 

 

All the memories.

All the hidden feelings.

They wouldn't stop running.

They were running away from each other.

 

 

--------

 

 

And that would be the one that got away.
