“It finally happened like I thought it might I run into you.”

I call you to say we have no other choice but to date for a year go our separate ways and cheat on whoever we marry forever.

Ancient shamans asked the sick one question only when did you stop singing?

My brother has not spoken to me in years. Something to do with Donald Trump or Jesus Christ or our horrible stepfather.

I meet you and know suddenly and horribly there is no difference between sex and war that I must die to get that close to touching god.

You loved me gray sweatpants and I loved you drunk on stouts and I am velveeta mac and cheese.

Good morning. The sun is 93 million miles away her light takes 8 minutes to find you each day. You are on purpose.

I want you as a lemon the waiter brings on a tiny white plate. I want him to watch while I squeeze you into my mouth and swallow the rind.

The point is that I loved.

You have to wonder at times what you’re doing out there. Over the years, I’ve given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement.

What I like most about track is the feeling I get after a good run.

Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run.

I’ve been in international competition, and now I know what the big boys can do. You don’t go out and just run. There’s an offense and a defense.

There is no question about that (retirement). Business is my hobby. It is not a burden to me. In any case Reliance now can run without me.

I don’t just go out there and run. I like to give people watching something exciting.

You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back.

Your greatest self lies within the hands of your inner child- the you who used to chase their shadows instead run from them.
