Hide and Seek
t's your turn to hide.
So I count to a thousand, then come to seek.
I call your name, but you do not speak.
I've searched ten years, searched everywhere.
But you are not here, and I'm not there.
I looked through my life,
And with some revision,
Looked at what I've done wrong,
All my bad decisions.
The decisions I made,
But mainly the ones that I didn't.
The lies I let out,
The truths I kept hidden.
Now here I am looking,
At my life and my phone.
You're there with him,
I'm here alone.
I long for your touch,
Which can tingle my spine.
I long for your smile,
Which says your still mine.
A serendipidous giggle,
An innocent faux pas.
Your flirtatious disposition,
Your je ne sais quoi.
But fate has a severity,
Which cannot be tamed.
And ours is a love,
Which we must not shame.
For you are so happy,
But I still make mistakes.
I'll carry on looking,
Do whatever it takes.
For you are my lifeline,
My joie de vivre.
So stay in your hiding place,
But please never leave.
I'll find you one days,
Our paths they must cross.
And what I will find,
Is all that I lost
