I look for redeeming qualities
Until you wanna be, 
involved with me. 



Then my mind, drunk with power

Turns your image sour.

And I can't remember why you seemed like a tower,
And that makes me a coward. 





I have to make you unattractive to rationalize, 

Because to surmise,
Being wanted is such a surprise. 





But really, I'm afraid I'll like you too much and use you as a crutch.

You might be caught up in the lust I'll end caught up in the trust. 




Daydreaming that you'll never leave and we'll be that,
Sappy type of happy couple that can sit around and snuggle. 

Emotions like football stars after the play,
Because they start to huddle. 



Creating this large mass of affection that I wish didn't have to form.

Resurrection of old feelings of love makes me realize you can leave me torn. 




If you ever had to leave just tell me reasons straight, no chaser.
Because my last love didn’t so I was unaware that it would be pointless to chase her.
love, chase, dreams, power.
