circles.

in circles i ran

chasing a tail.

spinning so fast,

chasing a tale.

i spun around,

not making a catch.

what i wanted,

not able to grasp.

always ahead,

a few steps away.

the hope of you,

farther each day.

i would reach,

grab thin air.

you were too fast,

no longer there.

so i slowed,

took time to breathe.

and i looked up,

watched you leave.

with time to think,

and you now gone,

i realized that

we had been all wrong.

i was just chasing

a tale, a dream.

i though all along,

needed you to breathe.

i no longer chase.

i no longer run.

i no longer fight.

they will come,

when they come.
