I tried like hell
To run
...hide
...escape from your grasp
How could I have known I was only running
From myself
And the further I got from your fingertips
The less I knew of who I was
The more the truth bled into
--Lost promises--
Escaping into what was to become
The forgotten love
If only I had known
That the love I had for you
Was real
(And inescapably certified as the other half of my soul)
How was I supposed to know
It was meant to be?
It was different?
And that you were just one of those things
I couldn't live without?
...Soon after...
My heart died from lack of you
And I was to be
no more.
