You Never Ran from Me
Choose your pleasure
Grasp at straws
Brass rings
Leather corsets
Climbing Everest
Stars a grasp away
Quiet pandemic moments
Hundreds of them
Secrets revealed
Walls came down
Truth and circumstances
You never ran from me
I run towards you
I want to save you
Taste your tears
Hug you so tight
A game to see who releases first
It won't be me

Smothered by hug.
"This world keeps spinnin' faster
Into a new disaster, so I run to you
I run to you, baby
When it all starts comin' undone
Baby, you're the only one I run to
I run to you!"
-“I Run to You” by Lady Antebellum.

Hi PS:)
There are moments in life when we don't run from - but - run to people.
Feeling protected and safe at times will trump the physical - but only for so long. LOL
Eventually feeling connected always wins!
Nice piece - loved the ending!

We are made stronger by those who embrace us. True love is the one, admiration is the thousand.
I like your recent approaches to creative writing. It's easier for me to relate with, for one. And it also shows you when you're less bold. Humanity is supposed to be gentle and kind, at it's root. Don't hide that part at all. We all search for it ourselves.

This entry was much longer but I spent some time with it to get it to that promised land kind of feel. I'm glad I did because people's reaction to it has been heartwarming. So I'm glad you felt it too.
Yes, I can very bold and in your face but you're right, when all that bravado junk falls away there's the kindness I want the reader to see and feel. I thank you Styx for your comment and for helping me see some truths ....
Appreciate you always
Gary

Dear PS,
Beautiful and honest piece. Made me yearn for this in my own world. It’s incredible when the real truth of something finally outs itself. I’m left wondering why I didn’t get to the point sooner as I’m usually left feeling so much better. Great write. H🌷

Dear H,
Sometimes we have to get beyond ourselves and take chances we ordinarily don't allow ..
I'm finding in my writing new ways to express myself and on this one in particular I was blessed with a really good reaction. We all have to constantly reinvent ourselves.
I appreciate your comments always H, go for the brass ring....
Thx
PS

Achingly beautiful in its vulnerability and want.
How did I miss this?
It made me think of how I passed time during the Shut Down. Thank God for the good memories.
And thank you for staring my day off with a smile.
Btw, you know we all love that tender side of you.
Swoon….

I like showing my vulnerable side actually but if I did it all the time people wouldn't appreciate these one offs I think ...
I could be wrong, probably am.
But I love your comment Mary and appreciate you ❤
