Hiding, Running, and becoming breathless.

I'll hide at the edge of something that will eventually **** me.
I'll run to the edge of my boundaries only to lose my way.

Soon enough there's no where else to go, and there you are.
Waiting patiently for me.

I've been stumbling around and guarding my heart.
These cage bars that lie inside me, and I don't have the key.

Holding on to something I should've let go with the breeze.
Caught against the tides of the waters that were drowning.

But I was trying to gather all these bits and pieces of you.
So I could keep you with me wherever I roam.

Little did I know that the journey would get so lonely.
Time would move slowly.

Running and running from a past that's haunting me.
I kept running to find someplace safe.

But I always ended up back at the beginning.
To redo everything all over again.

How long you've waited has finally told me.
I should've left everything to be; so I could finally be me.

While you are you; then nothing ever becomes something else.
So now I'm no longer hiding.

I'm running to you at full speed.
Where my past turns to dust, and there's nothing haunting me.

The cage door was opened, and you held the key.
As your arms surround me, I become breathless.

I'd finally found a place to call home in what lies between you and me.
