I ran wild and free
Happy to live, just dashing through life
Then one day you chased
And I fell into your arms
And into your smile
I ran away from you once
And you didn’t exactly chase
But you followed
I ran away from you twice
And it took a while
But we fell back into the same patterns
I fell in love with you once
But you chose her
My beautiful best friend
Making me feel wonderfully inferior
Again
It seems to be a special talent of yours
I fell in love with you twice
But I was scared
For good reason
So I ran into his open arms
Stupid, perhaps
But understandable
After all the pain you put me through
I ran away from you thrice
And you did not chase
You did not follow
And we did not fall back into the same patterns
We froze
Our friendship turned to ice
Because I couldn’t bear the thought of losing you
In a passionate romance
(That would have felt second hand after her anyways)
Instead of losing you to the flames of desire
I lost you to the ice of betrayal
I wish so dearly
So deeply
That we could thaw
But I can’t fall in love with you thrice
It might break me
And I’ve already had to pick up the pieces
Without you
Too many times
So I’ll keep running
Wishing you’d follow, yet glad you don’t
