M.P. Shaudd Poet Rhyme

I Ran From You

I ran from you to protect my heart
Or at least I thought I'd try
But little did I know back then
Just exactly why

Why run from what I feel inside
Deep within my heart
Instead of running towards the arms
From which I'd never part

It wasn't like we shared our lives
Beyond the words we'd say
We'd steal a kiss here and there
And then we'd walk away

Then I might not pass your way again
For quite a long, long time
Repressing all my feelings strong
I hoped to in my mind

It never worked as I had hoped
But why hope this anyway
Cause I've felt this way for many years
And doubt I'll ever change

The reasons to not feel for you
Were just covered with the lies
That I continually told myself
Why did I ever try

Cause no matter how, I think that I
Could push our fates away
I still wish that we were one
To this very day
