I Run...

One day
my knees will give out
my lungs won't be able to take it
my legs won't move as fast
my body will fail me

It's a day I think about
when I don't think
I can run any farther
run any faster
take one more step

For now I run with everything I have
I run to enjoy myself
I run to feel better
I run for me
to feel the wind in my hair
everything in me working together

And if I do it enough
maybe I will remember
what this feels like
and keep it with me
until the day I leave this earth

For now, I run.
