Her heart pounds in her chest. Her feet slap the ground (left, right, left, right, left, right) in a steady rhythm. She nearly has him. She can feel it.
His heart pounds in his chest. His feet barely touch the ground as he runs, fast, faster. He can hear her behind him and he wants to turn around and end this game.
He wants to stop running. He is tired. He is scared though of what will happen if he does stop. He is scared that things will change too much to ever go back. He begins to slow...
She is tired and wants to stop but she can't make herself. There is too much at stake, too much she will lose if she gives up the chase now. Until she has him in her grasp, she won't stop. She won't stop.
Her one desire is coming true. She can see that he is struggling and slowing down in his attempt to keep her away from his heart. She is gaining ground. Her hand reaches out and there is still too much space between them.
What he has been running from all this time is finally catching up with him. He finds that instead of running faster and harder, he wants to stop and face it head on. He slows down and glances over his shoulder. He sees her hand reaching for him. Turning so that he is jogging backwards, he cautiously extends his own hand.
They meet in the middle and fall, exhausted to the ground, hands grasping one another tightly.
The chase is finally over.
