Run Away

I come back, 

And you go away.

I know what I 

Was running from,

But what scared you

Away from home?

Maybe you wanted

The freedom offered

By the open road,

Or maybe you just

Wanted a clear head

So you could come home

And forget me.

But something tells me

You've already forgotten

What it feels like

To hold me,

And to kiss me.

Something tells me

You've already forgotten

What it feels like

To love me,

And to miss me.

I don't know why you ran,

But I know that here I am,

Planning an escape,

A whole new adventure,

So that I can pretend

That I have forgotten, too.

I remember what you said,

About how broken-hearted

You were in 2014-

I wished then that I could

Have saved you from that pain.

I wish now that I could

Make you feel it all over.

It's wrong, I know,

To wish you could feel it, too.

Part of me wishes you could

Forget everything that hurts you,

Because you deserve all the best.

But mostly I wish

That you could remember,

And I could be the one

To forget what it means

To be hurting like this.
