Running II

Maybe we only run away from the things we want most

Because we want them to chase us

Because we want them

to want us

As

much as

we want them

 

And maybe if we

get far enough

they’ll never

catch us

And maybe by

our own will

we’ll stop

wanting

them

;

But we never ran away

from anything

,

 

We never wanted

them

,

 

We could never

get far

enough

,

They were

us.
