Please don't run from me; I don't know if I'll have enough strength to chase you after this.
I've finally caught you, and I don't want to be It any more.
Can't we just stop this game of tag?
You've already started running again, but I'm too weary to follow.
I'm tired.
Tired of chasing you, tired of those shy glance you throw over you shoulder as you make sure I'm still behind you.
If you want this, boy, you're going to have to stop making me do all the work.
Someone else might be more willing, but I…
I'm too tired of watching you're back get smaller as you run away, when all I really want to see is your face.
I'm tired of getting left behind, too far to reach out and touch you.
To far to tag you. But then you turn around again, and I catch your eye.
And I realize… maybe I'm the one leaving you behind…
And I'm sorry…
But I just can't be It anymore.
Yay. There will be a prize to whomever correctly guesses the pairing for this. I'll tell you right now that it's not Gaara and his Unicorn.
