Hide and Seek

Where are you? I’ve been looking for you for so long, and I still don’t know where you are. Why am I even bothering to look for you, anyway? Whenever I finally find you, you just run off and disappear again, resetting this entire frustrating game of hide and seek. It almost seems like you don’t want me to find you…like your fun is ruined whenever I do. Yet still I continue to search…I look in every nook and cranny, hoping I’ll discover your new favorite place to hide, then we’ll both smile and laugh and go play together. But it never happens that way. You just get up and find somewhere else to conceal yourself from me, without a smile, a laugh, or even a single word. I’m getting tired of this game. Maybe I should just wait until it’s your turn to find me. Or maybe I should just stop playing hide and seek altogether. After all, I’ve never won.

A short piece I threw together while unable to sleep. Yay.
