Chasing Frivolity

Just now, a few minutes before I logged in to my multiply account, it came up to me. All along, for a very long time, i have been chasing after someone just a few footsteps away who covertly keeps running away... I deserve a slap on the face. Wake up Ron. Why bother chasing pipe dreams?

But why not? I was able to surpass the innumerable thorns that struck me in the chest in the past. Could a few more still hurt? The distance that hindrances this loneliness is just a text message away. It only takes one smile to open the parentheses, but only one smile to close them, too. I never asked anything in return, but why am I impatiently waiting for something in return?

I always thought everything would be fine. The incomplete pieces of this jigsaw puzzle always seemed to fit, but now that the missing ones have been found, they no longer would. The musical notes of that warm and gentle melody that used to fill the air now seem like cyphers that even the greatest cryptographer in world cannot decipher.

Where is this chase leading to? Would this even lead somewhere, or would this be a flat, infinite universe that doesn't end and will not get you back to where you started even when heading in a perfectly straight direction?

Should I continue chasing, or should I just stop? Will I be seeing the finish line soon or have I already passed by it?
