I remember when

you used to like

to play, puzzles and

riddles, shiny eyes

wide smiles, your arms

around my waist

when you found me

behind the barn…

 

I can recall, the long

minutes spent, heart

racing at the thought

of spotting you crouching

in a bush, this familiar

grin on your face telling

me “catch me if

you can!”

 

Now it feels like

I am playing alone…

Looking around but you’re

nowhere to be found.

Don’t call it off please,

give me a chance to

outwit you. Ten more

seconds to run back

to the warmth of these arms of yours…
