a race without ego

when ahead of me u run and no matter the challenge of uneven ground that makes my breathe laboured,

the beauty of your stride, the certainty of every step, the strength in your physique...draws me in

and even though sweat begins to run between my shoulder blades and all i wish is to stop and gulp and gulp  and GULP...!...for air...

i don't

...for...

i need to keep u in my viewpoint...u are the coax to the finish line.

one day...i shall run alongside your every stride...and i know u shall smile at me and coax me to reach the finish line before u.
