I run barefoot, with the wind teasing my hair back
I run for the joy of the salty sea spraying my face
I run away from nothing, and toward everything
Did you follow me just for your whim of chasing?
I travel life’s forests and deserts seeking truths
An errant child with a warbled time machine
I travel back and forth unforgiving myself
Were you a mirage or a misjudgement?
I know I should keep running,
I know I shouldn’t turn back and look
Yet I get persuaded over better sense,
Like the onlookers in a road accident
Why did you turn out to be,
Like the apparition in my dreams?
It is amazing now when I think back,
What that sinking resigned feeling echoes
Realizing I’m in the wrong bus, yet riding on
Why did you not stop at that look in my eyes?
Love or hate is no laughing matter
Was it curiosity or jealousy that egged you on,
You outran me, jumped at me from behind
And said boo,
I’d forgive you for that, but
Why did you make hate to me?
