What I Like About You

by JunKing

Several journal entries about my OC Peter and his feelings about what he likes about his stepfather, King. Life's not easy being 18 and without blood family!

Entry 4: Morning Run

I like how we always go

For that morning run.

Even though you usually have to force me,

It's still fun for me to be able to run

Next to you.

Of course, you are faster,

But what place does speed have in our friendship?

You are kind as always,

And I can tell that you slow down sometimes,

Just so that I don't get left behind.

The early morning darkness can never overcome me,

As long as you are there.

Even though I never tell you,

I enjoy running.

It makes me feel like I'm running away,

Running away from the past,

Running away from the future,

Running away from all trouble and sin.

And then I look to my right…

And there you are running with me.

What are you running from father?

What sins have you motivated to leave it all behind?

Whatever the reason may be,

I will never doubt you.

So for now, let us keep running…

Running from whatever hurts us the most.
