I've been admiring you from a distance, And when they tried to introduce us, I ran. I ran like a little girl scared of the monsters behind her. I feel I wasn't enough to be introduced to you. Everytime you so much as walk a few metres near me, I ran. I ran like I was in prep school, playing tag with my best friend. I feel I wasn't enough to walk with you. Now I've been thinking, I kept running away from you. What good did it make, I ask myself. **What good did running away from you make when you weren't even chasing me.**
