Often times We are so mesmerized by the chase That we forget whom we are running after Or why we started following their path In the first place Our intentions become unfamiliar So caught up in the excitement It is easy To get lost in the chaos Become addicted to the adrenaline There is something so appealing Beautifully devastating About loving someone Who will never love you back The chase Is the root of humanity What we cannot have Only makes us want it more And knowing we'll never have it Only makes our hearts grow thirstier And our imaginations stretch wider Believing it is better To hang on by a string Than it is to have nothing to hold on to The chase Is what fuels us It is the catalyst to disaster And we feed it anyway Each day is motivation Determination building from every let down His failed promises And excuses Apologies and forgiveness Those who show remorse Do not always mean it But grant it anyway Forgive again Play the scene over and over He will hurt you the same the next day And yet You will still run Arms open Eyes closed Trying to catch up With what is ultimately unattainable Attempting to reach For hands that pull away Kissing lips that speak only of now Never tomorrow Crawling with tired legs And weak knees But the chase Is what keeps us Going Going Going Without ever Looking back The chase Is what keeps us Living Searching Longing The chase Is the heart Of passion We are running With no intention Of ever stopping.
