Race With Two Ends

We started off well, both at the same time, And both of our feet behind the START line. Then you ran ahead, you had something to prove, That your manly strength could outrun my every move. But I, with long legs, set off sprinting fast, With none of our young bodies ending up last. So I ran and I ran, and I ran with no clue, Of where in the world I was going without you. The path twisted and turned, there was no going back, How I missed you so much - did I take the right track? Then I turned one last curve and caught sight of a man, We crossed separate lines, but we crossed hand in hand. The path may be rough, with hardships old and new, But I have no regrets because it ended with you.
