why does it have to be this way
why is it that
whenever i see you
i try to avoid you
even though
even though i crave
talking to youwhy do i keep running
while you stand there
and look at me
and think of mewhy do i run
whenever given attentionthen i realise
this is who i am
i am fearful
cowardice is a trait
that follows me around
and i cannot surpass itmaybe one day
i'll have the courage
to return your glances
and finally see
the details of your
luxurious facebut for now
let me run
let me hide
until i am ready
