Look Back Look Back At Me

He said ' look back at me'
but she didn't want to see
so the conflict carried on
and events,  spiraled uncontrolled,  from day one

she had to move from home she loved
for the sake of parents, beloved
and when he struggled to find the words
her pride refused , his sense of worth

she thinks he's not responsible actions
but he says he loves her, thought not of her reputation
she misinterprets his brooding nature
only see's his strength of purpose, later

but he finds her wilful pride disturbs him
and he finds her distance nature, very prim
but her wrath towards his severity
is her failing, to see him sincerely 

he misinterprets her ...intentions
both stubborn to see each others attraction
but as love is sure to find a way
when he finds the right words to say

'look back, look back at me'
